How does oxygen get to the brain?
Oxygen is transported to the brain by our red blood cells. These cells transport the oxygen molecules from our lungs into our bloodstream, where they are delivered to our brains. The same red blood cells also remove the carbon dioxide waste from our blood, which we exhale. ChaCha!

About Blood
The average adult has about five liters of blood inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissue and carbon dioxide from the body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.
