What makes the concentration of oxygen low in the alveolus?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillary
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the blood?
As blood passes through lungs, there is exchange of oxygen and carbon bi oxide, from high concentration to low concentration and oxygen enters the blood from air to blood to make it oxygen rich.
How is oxygen taken in into the body tissue?
At the level of the capillaries, oxygen will diffuse out of the saturated red blood cells down their concentration gradient into the tissues where their concentration is lowest.
How would the concentration of ozone molecules change if the concentration of oxygen molecules decreased?
If oxygen decreased, ozone will decrease. It is because ozone is made from oxygen.
Which is used for oxygen transportation in living organisms?
Im guessing you were asking whether diffusion, osmosis or active transport is used for oxygen transportation in organisms. Diffusion is the random movement of particles from an area with a high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. So in humans for eample, gas exchange occurs in the lungs where there is a lower concentration of oxygen in the blood and a high conc of oxygen in the lungs. The oxygen then diffuses into the blood.
Where does oxygen pass into your blood?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the lungs and binds to the hemoglobin since the oxygen concentration is high and the carbon dioxide concentration is low. The blood is pumped to the body. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the tissues because here, the concentration of oxygen is low and that of carbon dioxide is high.
Cyanosis is caused by an increased blood concentration of?
Increased concentration of oxygen
Why our body cells have a different oxygen concentration compared to the blood flowing to them from our lungs?
Diffusion from high concentration to low concentration.The oxygen concentration in the air in the lungs is higher than in the blood.The oxygen concentration in the blood is higher than in body cells.If these differences in concentration did not exist oxygen could not move from the air to the blood to body cells. While we are alive body cells consume some of the oxygen they receive, reducing their oxygen concentration and maintaining these differences. When we die the body cells quit consuming oxygen and over a period of time the levels of oxygen slowly begin evening out (however as blood no longer moves from the lungs to the body oxygen diffusion slows dramatically, leaving some body cells with much lower oxygen levels than would be normal).
When the blood arrives at the heart it has a high concentration of what?
oxygen
How does ventilation help maintain a difference in oxygen concentration?
As it circulates, the oxygen diffuses into the blood via the alveolar wall, this then transfer the oxygen to the red blood cells, as diffusion occurs at this point, oxygen diffuses from a high concentration to a low concentration, so the oxygen diffuses into the blood whereas the CO2 diffuses into the alveoli and then out of the mouth when we expire.
What makes the concentration of oxygen low in the alveolus?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillary
Where is the blood with the highest oxygen concentration?
pulmonary vein or lungs
What has the highest blood oxygen concentration?
the androgerodamus vein has the most
The highest oxygen concentration is found in the blood of the?
pulmonary veins
If you held your breath what would happen to the concentration of oxygen in your lungs?
If you held your breath, the concentration of oxygen in your lungs would decrease. The concentration of carbon dioxide would increase in your lungs.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the blood?
As blood passes through lungs, there is exchange of oxygen and carbon bi oxide, from high concentration to low concentration and oxygen enters the blood from air to blood to make it oxygen rich.
What is apoxemia?
Apoxemia is an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in arterial blood.
