Detailed Solution

Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli, where it is inhaled, into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli. This occurs due to the concentration gradient of oxygen, with a higher concentration of oxygen in the alveoli compared to the capillaries. Oxygen then enters the red blood cells, where it is bound to hemoglobin and transported to the body's tissues.
