Study Notes
Oxygen in the Air
- 20% of the air is composed of oxygen
- Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration to release energy
Cellular Respiration
- Cells require oxygen to respire and produce energy
- Energy is necessary for all bodily functions
Oxygen Uptake and Transport
- Oxygen is absorbed into the blood in the lungs
- Blood transports oxygen to cells throughout the body
Carbon Dioxide Removal
- Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide gas
- Carbon dioxide enters the blood and is transported to the lungs
- Carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and exhaled out of the body through breathing
