What is the smell that comes from oxygen concentrator?
What you smell is the nitrogen gas that has been absorbed in the sieve beds. Having the sieve beds repoured will take care of the problem.
Did oxygen exist in the atmosphere during the Proterozoic?
Certain minerals oxidize, or rust, in the presence of free oxygen. Proterozoic red beds are sedimentary rocks deposits that contain oxidized iron. They are the evidence that there was free oxygen in the atmosphere during the Proterozoic.
How can the oxygen you bring in to your body get into your circulatory system?
your lungs have structures called alveoli. The alveoli are surrounded by capillary beds which carry blood. The oxygen enters the alveoli when you inhale. The oxygen then diffuses from high concentration in your alveoli to low concentration the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
Which process forms salt beds?
Evaporation
Where do gases exchange?
The pathway of the circulatory system varies based on different species. The mammalian cardiovascular system begins with the pulmonary circuit. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. As the blood flows through capillary beds in the lungs, it adds oxygen and subtracts carbon dioxide. Oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart. Next the oxygen-rich blood flows into the left ventricle as the ventricle opens and the atrium closes. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood out of the body tissues through the systemic circuit. Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta, which passes blood to arteries leading throughout the body. The first branches from the aorta are the coronary arteries which provide blood that the heart muscle needs. Then come branches leading to capillary beds in the forelimbs. The aorta continues, supplying oxygen-rich blood to arteries leading to arterioles and capillary beds in the abdominal organs and legs. Inside the capillaries, oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse along their concentration gradients with oxygen being moved from the blood to the tissues. Carbon dioxide produced by cellular respiration diffuses into the bloodstream. Capillaries join again, forming venules, which give blood to veins. Oxygen-poor blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs is guided into a large vein called the anterior vena cava. Another large vein called the posterior vena cava drains blood from the chest and back legs. The two venae cavae empty their blood into the right atrium and the oxygen-poor blood flows into the right ventricle.

How can you fill oxygen in oxygen concentrator machines?
You dont. Find out where you bought the concentrator and call the customer service. They will either be able to get a replacement if covered by the manufacturers warrantee, or find a local licensed repair specialist.
What is a portable oxygen concentrator machine and how do they work?
Portable oxygen concentrators (or POC's) are a portable device used to provide oxygen therapy to a patient at substantially higher concentrations than the levels of ambient air. It is very similar to a home oxygen concentrator, but it smaller in size and more mobile. The portable oxygen concentrator makes it easy for patients to travel freely; they are small enough to fit in a car and most of the major concentrators. Functionality; The ambient air we breathe contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% of mix of other gasses. The POC has the main role of taking as much of the nitrogen out of the air as is physically possible while its still leaves the essential oxygen. To be able to do this, the POC draws in air through the inlet filter where a compressor unit compresses the air and moves it into the first of two cylinders. These are called the zenolite tower it is these that contain sieve beds. The sieve bed's job is to become saturated by the nitrogen. A valve then opens. this makes a puffing tone or sound that can be heeard and then the oxygen is pushed into a second zenolite tower whereany additional nitrogen is removed while the nitrogen in the sieve bed is released out of the unit. The oxygen, now at around 95% purity, also leaves the unit and travels to the user.
What is the relationship between red beds and oxygen in the atmosphere?
Red beds
In which capillary beds does oxygen enter the capillaries and carbon dioxide exit the capillaries?
The capillary bed in the lungs is where the oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
What system responds by delivering more oxygen to the cells?
Circulatory system delivers blood (containing oxygen) to cells.
What occur in capillary beds?
Capillaries pick up carbon dioxide from the cells of the body and deliver oxygen.
Are lungs moist or dry?
For oxygen to diffuse into capillary beds of any organism, there needs to be a certain amount of moisture.
What are the classifications of beds?
Classification of beds include King Beds, Queen Beds, Single Beds, Double Beds, Day Beds, Sofa Beds, trundle beds, bunk beds, and toddler beds.
When does a patient require oxygen therapy?
A patient requires oxygen therapy when the oxygen in their blood is unable to stay elevated on their own. If the patients lip has a bluish tint to the nail beds or lip, or is found with difficulty breathing and shortness of breath it is likely they will be a candidate for oxygen therapy.

Which part of the circulatory system loses water to surround tissue?
Capillary beds are responsible for diffusing blood/oxygen and water to tissues.
