Oxygen is necessary for the muscles, tissues, and organs in your body. It is also extremely important for the brain to function, as a prolonged period of not-enough oxygen to the brain will result in brain damage and more severely brain death.
When you breathe, the Oxygen is inhaled into your lungs where it diffuses into the blood oxygenating the blood that is lacking oxygen as your heart pumps this non-oxygenated blood to the lungs.
Once the blood has been oxygenated by the lungs, the heart continues pumping this blood throughout the body and delivers the oxygenated blood to the various tissues, muscles, and organs in your body.
Then this blood is no longer containing oxygen, so the heart continues to pump it back through the heart and to the lungs to be re-oxygenated. And the cycle continues with each breath you take...
Oxygen is needed in the reformation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) from ADP in the body. ATP is used in metabolic processes as an energy source and is therefore required for life.

Can Jupiter sustain human life and civilization?
No its to cold

Since gasps (agonal breathing) will not sustain life, for an adult go immediately to CPR.
How much blood loss, measured as a percentage, can the human body sustain before it becomes life-threatening?
The human body can sustain a blood loss of up to 15-30 before it becomes life-threatening.
What is the importance of cardiac cycle?
The importance of cardiac cycle is to sustain human life.
What does all the organs do in the human body?
Sustain the life system for now and future.
Person Breathing once every 20 to 30 sec?
That rate is not enough to sustain life. Rescue breathing must be started and if there becomes no pulse, CPR must be started.
Will the moon Titan sustain human life?
No. Titan is much too cold for humans.
What can you get on the planet mercury?
scorched.....it's too hot to sustain human life on Mercury
Why is life challenging for humans in space?
Because the amount of oxygen in space is not sufficient enough to sustain human life.
Can Jupiter sustain human life?
No, Jupiter cannot sustain human life as it is a gas giant with no solid surface to support life. The extreme atmospheric conditions on Jupiter, including high levels of radiation, intense gravity, and lack of oxygen, make it uninhabitable for humans.
