If by that you mean where they get their own oxygen, then from nowhere because red blood cells do not need oxygen, they perform all reactions anaerobically.
If you mean where they get it to give off for the rest of your body, then its from the lungs.

What liquid takes oxygen and glucose from the blood to other body cells?

The liquid that transports oxygen and glucose from the blood to other body cells is called plasma. Plasma is the liquid component of blood that carries nutrients, hormones, and waste products to and from cells in the body.


Is there carbon in our muscles?

It diffuses into capillaries in the muscle where red blood cells and the blood carry it to the lungs were it is released and oxygen takes its place in the blood.


What happens when blood passes cells?

Oxygen and other nutrients diffuse out of blood by osmosis, and blood takes up carbon dioxide and other waste products given off by cells.


What is the hearts role in maintaining homeostasis?

The heart pumps blood to all of your body. The blood contains oxygen and brings oxygen to all of your cells. The blood also takes carbon dioxide out of your cells and comes out when you exhale. Your cells need oxygen for energy, or cellular respiration. Cellular respiration allows your cells to function normally, maintaining homeostasis. Theorhetically, if the cells could get oxygen by themselves, without the help of blood, we wouldn't need a heart.
