Oxygen is added to your blood in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. When you inhale, oxygen from the air passes through the alveolar walls and enters the bloodstream, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This oxygen-rich blood is then transported throughout the body to supply tissues and organs.

Does liver puts oxygen in your blood?

No, the liver does not put oxygen into your blood. The liver's main functions include detoxifying chemicals, metabolizing drugs, producing bile, and storing glycogen.
