What is an Oxygen Molecule
 An oxygen molecule is two oxygen atoms stuck
together.
 Has the ability to form compounds with almost all
other elements.
 atomic number of 8 and atomic mass of 15.9994 amu.
 Symbol O
 Important element of atmosphere and is nessarcy for
any life on earth.
 Oxygen is important for all life because it gives oxgen
to cells so they can be created and make ATP.
The Respiratory System
The oxygen molecule is in the air.
It goes through the bronchi
tube. Then enters the lungs
Once in the lungs, it
enters separate
branches called the
bronchioles
It then enters the
circulatory system
It travels into your mouth
It travels down into the
trachea past the larynx
They end up in the
aveolies
Oxygen transfers
into blood through
capillaries
The Circulatory System
When the blood cell is
in the heart, the left
ventricle contracts.
The oxygen
molecules go
through the
capillary walls
They then
enter the
body tissue
The blood
then recycles
The blood is pushed into
the aorta.
Once in the
capillaries, the
oxygen molecules
detach from the
blood cells
The blood finds its
way to the heart
It goes through the
pulmonary arteries
and ends up in the
lungs
From the aorta,
they enter a series
of arteries
They then reach
the capillaries
It goes through
the veins to reach
the right atrium
It enters the right
ventricle
However the oxygen
molecule has a
different path than
the blood.
It is pumped out of
the lungs and back
out through the
mouth into the air
The ddetached
oxygen molecule
finds it way to the
Mitchondria
The now carbon
dixocide
molecule
travels back
through the
body
In the
Mitcochondria
Cellualr Resperation
occurs
Oxygen is
convered to
carbon dioxcide
and ATP is made
