The oxygen molecules enter the bloodstream by diffusing through the thin walls of the capillaries that surround the air sacs in the lungs. These capillaries are where the exchange of gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin in red blood cells, and are then transported throughout the body to cells and tissues that need oxygen for energy production.
