Question

when we breath in oxygen where does it go? can you tell me all the places where the oxygen goes (e.g. lungs) thanks

Answer 1

Here's a full view.

It goes in through your nose or mouth to your pharynx, down your trachea to bronchi to the bronchial tubes (to bronchioles) into your lungs. (In general any thing that starts with 'bronch' is a tube that air follows towards your lungs. Also your trachea contains your larynx so you'll hear that used some times in place of trachea. The common name for the trachea is windpipe)

Your lungs are covered with small blood vessels called capillaries this is where the haemoglobin in your blood swaps oxygen for carbon dioxide.

The blood then travels to your heart to be circulated around your body to the muscles and organs that need the oxygen. The muscles and oxygen dump their waste products including carbon dioxide in the blood then it travels to the heart to be circulated to your lungs so the process can repeat.

Answer 2

into the lungs, than binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cells and transfered to all the cells in the body through the blood stream. in the cell it is used as a receptor of H+ protons that are made in the glycolysis process of energy production.

Answer 3

It goes into lungs and from there it goes into the blood and through blood (haemoglobin) it goes to all parts of the body.
