Oxygen is a factor of respiration that generates energy in the body. Body activities require energy, including moving, stretching muscles, and relaxing muscles. Through the lungs as well as respiration systems, humans are able to breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide (Daniel et al. 35). The process through which the two gases get exchanged is called respiration. The energy is released from the food taken in our body after the oxygen has been used to facilitate the process. Oxygen gets into the body through the nose, following the respiratory channels. It gets supplied to the bloodstream and to the cells. Energy gets released onto the system through a process called aerobic respiration. After the food has been taken, oxygen is needed to produce ATP. During the process, the waste products formed, such as carbon dioxide, get exhaled out, and excess water is excreted. The energy produced is then supplied to the body to keep the normal functioning of the body in place (Daniel et al. 15). The body moves with the help of muscled that are attached to the bone and for the muscles to move, they require energy.
Bones are important components of the body since they give a framework called the skeleton, which supports and offers protection to some of the delicate body organs. The skeleton supports the body against gravitational force, thereby allowing the animals to stand upright, sit upright and also support the squatting animals (Daniel et al. 30). The vertebrae protect the spinal code and the rib cage prevents the heart from injury and lungs. All in all, the most significant role of the bone is its ability to work together with the muscles to support animals in movement.
