How does your blood get oxygen?
A
travels through the stomach
B
travels through your brain
C
travels through your lungs
D
travels through your intestines
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a process called diffusion, oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood through the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) lining the alveolar walls. Once in the bloodstream, oxygen gets picked up by the hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen enters the lungs, then passes through the alveoli and into the blood. The oxygen is carried around the body in blood vessels. Carbon dioxide moves into the blood capillaries and is brought to the lungs to be released into the air during exhalation.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you breathe in (inhalation), the diaphragm moves down toward the abdomen, and the rib muscles pull the ribs upward and outward. This makes the chest cavity bigger and pulls air through the nose or mouth into the lungs.
