____ in the lungs will enter the bloodstream and go to the rest of the body, to be used.
A
Oxygen
B
Carbon Dioxide
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once in the lungs, oxygen is moved into the bloodstream and carried through your body. At each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Ventilation is the process by which air moves in and out of the lungs. Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the alveoli and the capillaries in the lungs. Perfusion is the process by which the cardiovascular system pumps blood throughout the lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and takes away wastes. The heart pumps oxygenated and deoxygenated blood on different sides. The types of blood vessels include arteries, capillaries and veins.
