Best Answer

Your blood is never truly dexoygenated, but as it delivers oxygen to tissues the saturation of oxygen gets lower. When the blood reaches the alveoli of the lung oxygen diffuse from the higher concentration of the air to the lower concentration of the blood, where most of it binds to hemoglobin molecules.

The tissues absorb the oxygen that your red blood cells carry through diffusion through the capillary membranes. When the oxygen is gone, the blood is considered "deoxygenated."
