EXHALED. I’m free. Back in the atmosphere. If you’re reading this, that was the craziest trip of my life. #OxygenJourney #TransportUnit

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Back in the alveoli. About to get exhaled. It’s been real, human body. Truly a journey. #Exhale #BackToTheAtmosphere

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Hopped on a red blood cell heading back through the veins. Right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery. #VenousReturn

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

I’ve officially become CO2. The transformation is complete. Time to head back. #CO2 #WasteProduct

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Inside the mitochondria now. Being used for cellular respiration. Producing ATP. This is literally my purpose. #Mitochondria

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Just got dropped off at a muscle cell. Hemoglobin let me go. We had a good run. #GasExchange #Delivered

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Reached the capillary bed. Tissue cells are RIGHT there looking hungry. They want me bad. #Capillaries #CellularRespiration

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Into the arterioles. Getting narrower again. This body really loves making me squeeze through things. #Arterioles

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Branching into smaller arteries now. The pressure is still high. My hemoglobin homie is holding me tight. #Arteries

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Blasting through the aorta rn. This is the main highway of the body and I feel it. #Aorta #CardiovascularSystem

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Left ventricle just SQUEEZED and launched me out. Cardiac output is no joke. #LeftVentricle #Pump

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Pulled into the left atrium via the pulmonary vein. Heart goes HARD in here. Literally. #Heart #PulmonaryVein

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

A hemoglobin just grabbed me. I’m riding a red blood cell now. This is literally Uber but make it science. #Hemoglobin #RBC

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Gas exchange just happened. I crossed the membrane into the bloodstream. O2 is officially in the building. #GasExchange

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

MADE IT TO THE ALVEOLI. Tiny little air sac but the view is bussin. Capillaries right next door. #Alveoli #LungLife

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Getting smaller… bronchioles now. This tunnel keeps shrinking. Starting to feel claustrophobic. #Bronchioles

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Split off into the bronchi. Took the left side. Wild how it just divides like that. #Bronchi #Wild

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Flying down the trachea at full speed. It’s like a highway in here. #Trachea #SpeedRun

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Just passed the pharynx. Taking a detour past the larynx. The epiglottis flipped and I went the RIGHT way. Phew. #Transport

[Jorge Garcia @Jorge_GV27]

Zooming through the nasal cavity rn. It’s warm and humid in here. Not what I expected tbh. #NasalPassage
