Oxygen enters the body by being absorbed into the blood (specifically, it is absorbed by red blood cells which contain an oxygen-carrying compound known as hemoglobin) when air is inhaled into the lungs, which have a highly porous, spongy structure which facilitates the exposure of blood to the air.

Does plasma carry oxygen?
When oxygen enters the bloodstream through the lungs it generally binds to red blood cells (more specifically the hemoglobin within red blood cells), which are carried along within the plasma.

In short, plasma doesn't carry oxygen, but instead carries the cells that carry oxygen.
