Oxygenation (medical)
From Self-sufficiency
Oxygenation occurs when oxygen molecules (O2) enter the tissues of the body. For example, blood is oxygenated in the lungs, where oxygen molecules travel from the air and into the blood. As a result of this oxygenation, the color of the blood changes from dark purple to red.
The opposite of the process is called De-Oxygenation.
