Which of the following statements is NOT one of the three things needed to keep the body supplied with oxygen?

The essential set for keeping oxygen moving through the body is an open airway, effective breathing, and a functioning circulation. An open airway allows air to reach the lungs; breathing is the process of taking in air and exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide; circulation moves the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. Bleeding, while dangerous and capable of impairing oxygen delivery by reducing blood volume and pressure, isn’t one of these three components. It’s a separate problem to manage, but the core trio needed to supply oxygen are airway, breathing, and circulation.
