That is not how frostbite occurs. Frostbite occurs when the water that is in the cell freezes due to the cold temperatures outside of the body. The water in the cells freezes, and stops oxygen from reaching that cell.

What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the cells?
it is used in metabolic process
What happens when the blood reaches tissues or cells that do not have enough oxygen?
The oxyhaemoglobin will break down and oxygen will release. :)
How does oxygen from the alveoli reaches the heart?
From the Alveoli, it transfers to red blood cells, which travels through the circulation and reaches the heart.
How many layers of cells does oxygen diffuse through before it reaches a red blood cell?
millions of cells
Oxygen reaches all parts of an animals body when?
Oxygen reaches all parts of an animal's body when it inhales via the lungs, and the oxygen enters the blood stream. The heart then pumps these oxygenated blood cells to the rest of the body.
What happens when the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen?
They die because they are unable to produce energy and function. And shrink
People living at high altitudes have thicker blood so that what gas reaches body cells?
oxygen
What happens when blood reaches tissues?
When blood reaches the tissues, cells, and organs via the capillaries, materials diffuse across the capillary wall so that the cells, tissues, and organs receive nutrients and oxygen, and eliminate wastes.
Does frostbite kill cells?
Yes, ice crystals form and burst the cells.
What happens when fresh air containing oxygen reaches the lungs?
The red blood cells pick it up from the air and take it through the blood stream to the cells in the body.
