when it reaches tissues and cells that are low on oxygen
A lower than normal level of oxygen is called hypoxia.
An increase in diffusion rates in tissues favours oxygen movement from the capillaries to the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the cells to the blood. Also With some training these rates increase, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse more rapidly.
If there is not enough dissolved oxygen in water then most things will not be able to live in it.
The main function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen to tissues from the lungs and carbon dioxide out from the tissues to the lungs to breathed out of the body
The condition of deficient oxygen is hypoxia, and the condition of no oxygen is anoxia. Blood cells are aerobic so they need oxygen to survive. If you have below normal oxygen levels, you're not providing your blood with its fuel; you're basically starving your blood cells. Blood delivers oxygen to your tissues before returning to your lungs to fill up again. So if your blood isn't getting enough oxygen, neither will any other part of your body.
You will die
The oxyhaemoglobin will break down and oxygen will release. :)
hypoxia
if the oxygen saturation is 50% it means the total hemoglobin content of blood is half saturated with oxygen. in this condition the oxygen delivery to the tissues is the maximum.
The word root of "anoxia" is "oxia," which is derived from the Greek word for oxygen. "Anoxia" refers to a condition characterized by a lack of oxygen reaching tissues.
the clip and the light that you are talking about is a pulse oximeter and this machine measure the hemoglobin that is bind to oxygen in your blood. The hemoglobin is what transport oxygen to your cells and tissues. If you have a low hemoglobin level but they're all bind to oxygen the reading will be good but your tissues and cells are not receiving enough oxygen. That can be one of the reason you're feeling you don't get enough air.Otherwise it could be because of congestion in your lungs even if you're getting enough oxygen.
Cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. It is a sign that the body is not getting enough oxygen and can indicate a serious medical condition requiring prompt attention.
A condition in which patients with lung disease are not able to get enough oxygen.
The tissues get oxygen from oxygenated blood supply for energy production.
anaerobic respiration is carried out when the tissues in the body lack oxygen. such as during heavy exerice. the body cant pump oxygen to the tissues fast enough so they undergo anaerobic respirtation. however this causes lactic acid in the muscles and the oxygen 'debt' has to be paid back
Hypoxia refers to the saturation of oxygen in tissues. If you are taking oxygen therapy, even with 100% oxygen, it is still possible for some tissues not to get the right amount of oxygen due to circulatory problems.
