Answer:

No, there are no parts of the human body that get oxygen directly from the air and not from the blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen is transported to all parts of the body through the bloodstream, and is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the lungs during respiration. The lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen from the air and transferring it to the bloodstream, which then distributes it to cells throughout the body. Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells convert glucose into energy.
