Correction:
Oxygenated Blood mixed with Iron, hemoglobin, is what makes blood have a scarlet hue. More accurately, the oxidation of the porphyrin ring to which iron is bound.
Oxygenated Blood with copper, hemocyanin, is blue as evident in horseshoe crabs and octopi.
Chlorocruorin is green in leeches and some lizards.
Haemerythrin is purple in worms and brachiopods

the alveolar walls are made of thin cells that are surrounded my cappilaries together they make a two-cell thick membrane that brings blood and oxygen close for diffusion, they are then carried to go through the cardiovascular network

The best reference is the Bohr Effect. You must not mouth breath and must only nasal breathe. You generate CO2 which carries oxygen to the cells. 20% of the atmospheric mix we inhale is oxygen, and 16% of what we exhale is oxygen.
