How does the body regulate sodium levels?
When dietary sodium is too high or low, the intestines and kidneys respond to adjust concentrations to normal
Does low oxygen levels make you sleepy?
yes
What happens if levels of carbon dioxide or oxygen in your body change?
if the oxygen levels are too low, your muscles won't get the oxygen they need from the blood cells. if the carbon dioxide levels are too high, well, carbon dioxide is a waste product, the same thing will happen. this is why when you hold your breathe you pass out. if the muscles don't get the oxygen they need they can't move.
Which organ's blood flow pattern results in low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high oxygen levels causing vasodilation?
lungs
How can you determine if oxygen levels are high or low?
When oxygen levels are high people tend to get a 'high' sensation. When the oxygen levels are low, it feels like you are going to pass out. There are other ways to tell, but generally you would need prodigious equipment, that is most likely very expensive.
Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
Low oxygen levels cause vasodilation in systemic arterioles.High oxygen levels cause vasodilation in capillaries in the lungs.
A decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called what?
The correct name for low levels of oxygen in the blood is hypoxaemia. Low levels of oxygen in the body tissues is called hypoxia
Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasocontriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
lungs
What is oxygen depletion?
When oxygen levels in water get low... When algae takes over a lake. The oxygen levels will get low.
How does the body regulates body levels?
When dietary sodium is too high or low, the intestines and kidneys respond to adjust concentrations to normal
In what body part would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
LUNGS
What is low tissue oxygen levels called?
Low tissue oxygen levels are called hypoxia. This condition occurs when there is a decreased level of oxygen available to the body's tissues and cells, resulting in potential damage and impairment of normal function.
What happens when your oxygen saturation drop when you are on and off the ventilator?
When your oxygen saturation levels drop, your blood is not carrying enough oxygen to provide your body the levels it needs. If they drop low enough, your body will shut down and you can die. If you are hooked to a ventilator, this will help the body increase the oxygen saturation levels in your blood, potentially saving your life.
What is a sentence with the word oxygen?
oxygen is required by our body. Plants breathe out Oxygen.
Why do catfish survive in low-oxygen levels better than trouts?
it is because catfish can survive in low-oxygen levels. Trout survives at higher oxygen levels
Can anaemia cause heart flutters?
Yes anaemia can cause heart flutters (palpitations). The cause is usually due to the heart trying to compensate for low oxygen levels in the body. Anaemia is an abnormally low amount of haemoglobin in the blood, which is the part of blood which carries oxygen. Therefore, low haemoglobin levels lead to low oxygen levels. In response, the heart will often try to increase the amount of blood pumped around the body, to meet the body's demand for oxygen by beating faster. This can cause a high heart rate which can lead to palpitations or heart flutters.
