Why does Carbon Monoxide make you sleepy?
It jacks the spaces on the red blood cells originally for oxygen Carbon Monoxide combines with hemoglobin (the stuff on the red blood cells) 500 times faster than oxygen.
How does carbon monoxide increase blood pressure?
it combines with haemoglobin forming the carboxyhaemoglbin thus which is alarge complex and affinity to the oxygen is lost leading to increase in blood pressure.
What harmful effects does carbon monoxide have on the blood?
Carbon monoxide form carboxyhemoglobin and the transport of oxygen by blood is very limited.
What carries blood rich in carbon monoxide?
Nothing does. Carbon monoxide is toxic. If your blood is rich in it, you will soon be dead. Veins generally carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide.
How is carbon monoxide harmful?
Red blood cells normally transport oxygen through the bloodstream, releasing it to tissues that need it. However, carbon monxide bonds to the red blood cells much better than oxygen, and is not released once it combines with them. The red blood cells are unable to transport oxygen (they are already full of carbon monoxide), and you can become ill or die from lack of oxygen.
If carbon monoxide combines readily with the hemoglobin of the blood 250 times more readily than oxygen does why can it not support life?
because carbon monoxide is poisonous and it affects our health.

How does inhaling carbon monoxide make it harder to breath?
because we need oxygen for our muscles and organs to function, and carbon monoxide (CO) combines with the haemoglobin (the red stuff in red blood cells) like oxygen does. But when CO combines it does so instead of the O thereby reducing the blood's capacity to carry O.
How does carbon monoxide increase blood pressure?
it combines with haemoglobin forming the carboxyhaemoglbin thus which is alarge complex and affinity to the oxygen is lost leading to increase in blood pressure.
What agent attacks the oxygen carrying capacityof the body?
A variety of different factors can disrupt the body's ability. A main one is carbon monoxide, which combines with red blood cells more easily than oxygen. Search 'carbon monoxide poisoning'
What kind of inhibitor is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide inhibit blood platelet aggregation.
How would carbon monoxide cause death?
Carbon monoxide is exactly like carbon dioxide, except that it is missing an oxygen atom. Animal blood uses iron, the iron rusts making the blood red, to transport oxygen by combining the iron with the oxygen making iron oxide, or rust. The oxygen in rust can be easily taken from iron because oxygen combines with many things more easily than it does with iron. One such molecule is carbon monoxide. When the carbon monoxide is breathed in, it mixes with the blood, just like the other air that gets sucked in. When the carbon monoxide gets into the blood, the oxygen that is attached to the iron, the body attaches oxygen to iron to transport it and it uses it by combining it with carbon to dispose of waste, leaves the iron and goes to the carbon monoxide which makes carbon dioxide. So very simply carbon monoxide sucks the oxygen from the blood making the person suffocate, because they can no longer use the oxygen they breathe in.

What is spco in blood?
I believe it measures the carbon monoxide saturation of blood. This is how carbon monoxide poisoning is checked. Hope that helps! Dave

Why is carbon monoxide more dangerous than carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide bonds the the hemoglobin in out red blood cells. This renders our blood unable to transport oxygen. Carbon dioxide does not do this.
