How oxygen is transported through the circulatory system?

Oxygen is transported through the circulatory system by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the body where it is needed for cellular respiration. The oxygen is released from hemoglobin and diffuses into the surrounding tissues to support their metabolic functions.


Where is Oxygen poor blood collected?

Deoxygenated blood is not collected anywhere. Blood is a constantly moving stream - it never stops, as the question implies. The oxygen poor blood goes to the lungs, where it turns oxygenated as it takes up oxygen.


What organs supply blood with oxygen in mammals?

the lungs supply the blood with oxygen, within the lungs there are alveoli which have a very thin membrane which allows oxygen to pass into the capillaries that run into the lungs hope i helped


What organ pink-up oxygen in thd blood stream?

The lungs are responsible for picking up oxygen from the air we breathe. Oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the lung's air sacs (alveoli) into the surrounding blood vessels, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport to tissues throughout the body.


Where does the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream take place?

The transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream takes place in the lungs. Oxygen is inhaled through the airways into the alveoli, tiny air sacs in the lungs where it diffuses across the alveolar membrane into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, entering the bloodstream.

Where is oxygen absorbed in the blood stream?

Oxygen is absorbed in the blood stream primarily in the lungs through the process of diffusion. When we breathe in, oxygen from the air enters the lungs and diffuses across the alveoli into the capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and is transported throughout the body.


How does oxygen get from outside your body to your brain?

Oxygen is inhaled through the nose or mouth, where it travels down the trachea, enters the lungs, and diffuses into the bloodstream through the alveoli. The oxygen-rich blood is then pumped by the heart to all parts of the body, including the brain, where it is used for cellular respiration to produce energy.


How does oxygen reach to all your parts of the body?

Oxygen travels through ur blood vessels on your lungs then down to your blood stream.
