- Synopsis
- This page shows three images, an alveolus on the left, a red blood cell in the middle and a muscle on the right of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. The alveolus and muscle images are surrounded by a dashed line image border. The air comes into the alveolus through the bronchiole tube in the top right of the image. Oxygen is absorbed by red blood cells in the rounded alveolus. The red blood cell has an unusual shape as a biconcave disc. The red blood cell cross section explains this. The red blood cells transport the oxygen as ‘oxyhaemoglobin’ to organs and body tissue where the oxygen is released for use.
