# Oxygen System
Oxygen System is the living process of taking in, carrying, and using oxygen.
## Meaning
The oxygen system connects breathing to energy.
A person takes in air, exchanges gases, carries oxygen through the body, and uses it to support function.
This makes oxygen a useful bridge between [[Breath]], [[Physical Well-being]], [[Sleep]], and energy.
In the Mynd graph, oxygen should stay concrete.
The point is not to turn every practice into biology.
The point is to notice when a simple action may support the body's capacity to function, recover, and grow.
## Source Of Meaning
This note is grounded in the practice-path idea and Joe's interest in connecting a practice like nasal breathing to the systems it may touch.
## Relationship Over Time
This note should be improved by better biological sources and lived practice examples.

## Tensions
Oxygen is essential, but many public claims about oxygen and wellness are too broad. This note should stay practical and modest.
## Question
What action supports the body in getting and using oxygen well?
