Oxygen is inhaled during respiration and diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream, where it binds to hemoglobin and is transported to cells for energy production. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, is picked up by the blood and transported back to the lungs, where it is exhaled from the body during expiration. This cycle of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange is essential for cellular function and maintaining the body's pH balance.
