Explain how oxygen transfers from breathing in into the blood stream?

Answer 1

Ok I know this :)
The diaphragm contracts and air passes into the lungs. The air then travels into the bronchus then into the bronchioles. After that it passes into the Alveoli.

The alveoli are made in a way that offers quick diffusion of oxygen into the haemaglobin enriched red blood cells. These include:
wall between alveoli and blood 1 cell thick
mucus lining offers high diffusion gradient.

Once the blood has obtained the oxygen it goes through the heart and is pumped to all parts of the body

Answer 2

Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and are the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen from the lungs or gills to body tissues via the blood.
Red blood cells are also known as RBCs or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow", with cyte nowadays translated as "cell"). A schistocyte is a red blood cell undergoing fragmentation, or a fragmented part of a red blood cell.

Vertebrate erythrocytes
Erythrocytes consist mainly of hemoglobin, a complex molecule containing heme groups whose iron atoms temporarily link to oxygen molecules in the lungs or gills and release them throughout the body. Oxygen can easily diffuse through the red blood cell's cell membrane. Hemoglobin also carries some of the waste product carbon dioxide back from the tissues. (In humans, less than 2% of the total oxygen, and most of the carbon dioxide, are held in solution in the blood plasma). A related compound, myoglobin, acts to store oxygen in muscle cells.
The color of erythrocytes is due to the heme group of hemoglobin. The blood plasma is straw-colored alone, but the red blood cells change colors due to the state of the hemoglobin: when combined with oxygen the resulting oxyhemoglobin is scarlet and when oxygen has been released, the resulting deoxyhemoglobin is darker, appearing bluish through the blood vessel walls.

The keeping of oxygen-binding proteins in cells (rather than having them dissolved in body fluid) was an important step in the evolution of vertebrates; it allows for less viscous blood and longer transport ways of oxygen.

Answer 3

oxygen enters our lungs, the place it gets linked to the hemoglobin(in the pink blood cells). Then the oxygen rich blood is then pumped with the aid of the midsection to the the remainder of the physique.

Answer 4

The Oxygen atoms move via osmosis through the blood cells and other tissues of our bodies.

Answer 5

Through respiration, you breath in oxygen from your nose/mouth
then oxygen goes down into your trachea then into your bronchos then through the borhols then through them into aveloe whcih are rapped around by blood cells and vesels and oxygen difuses into the blood!

then the oxygen goes intot he blood and around the body!

Answer 6

Its absorbed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs which transfer it to the heart which pumps it through the bloodstream.
Quite clever really.

Answer 7

Maybe you should ask this question under Science And Mathematics - Medicine. Perhaps you'll fare better than the first two answerers.

Why would I want to do that?

Answer 10

Dunno...
