Post-Lab Analysis:
Research the pathway of how oxygen is taken from the atmosphere to how it is used by our muscle tissue.
Double click on the text box below. Correctly arrange the steps of the pathway by arranging the boxes from top to button.
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the muscle tissues of the body (cells)
Oxygen in the circulatory system (blood) attaches to the hemoglobin molecule on red blood-cells
The muscle tissues use the ATP molecule to function properly
Oxygen diffuses across the cell membrane of the cell
Inhaled oxygen travels through the respiratory system to the lungs
The oxygen in the lungs diffuses to the circulatory system (blood)
Oxygen in the air is inhaled by the respiratory system (nose and mouth)
Oxygen inside the muscle cell is used by the mitochondria to produce the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
