What are the benefits of having a portable oxygen concentrator?
Its useful for people having respiratory issues. It works by concentrating the Oxygen already present in the normal air i.e. it filters out the normal air to give out pure Oxygen.
How do tissues get the oxygen they need for energy production?
The tissues get oxygen from oxygenated blood supply for energy production.
What do red blood cell transport from tissues?
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
Do lunges transport oxygen to tissues?
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
What percentage of oxygen is delivered to tissues at rest in cooperative binding?
72 percent of Oxygen is delivered to tissues at rest in cooperative binding.
What is the root word of hypoxia?
Hypoxia: Hypo = below, ox = presence of oxygen "Below oxygen" or "below normal oxygen levels" Hypoxia means low tissue oxygen level. Or oxygen levels below normal in the tissues.
Describes the condition of having deficient levels of oxygen in the body's tissues and organs?
hypoxia
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.
When is an increase to oxygen saturation in tissues recommended?
The purpose is to increase oxygen saturation in tissues where the saturation levels are too low due to illness or injury.
A lower than normal level of oxygen in tissues is called?
A lower than normal level of oxygen is called hypoxia.
What is the function of oximeter?
The pulse oximeter (or oxymeter) measure the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. If the hemoglobin levels are normal this will give an estimate of how much oxygen is being delivered to the tissues and if abnormal can suggest lung or heart disease.
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
What is a lower than normal level of oxygen in the tissues called?
A lower than normal level of oxygen in the tissues called hypoxia. Hypoxia can occur from a number of conditions and diseases. If not corrected quickly, it can lead to tissue death.
In a sickle cell decease variation in one gene causes red blood cells to bend or sickle. this means the sickle cell?
Cannot carry normal levels of oxygen to cells :) *NovaNet*
What is oxygen dept?
Oxygen dept is the time taken for the body to return the levels of oxygen to normal after physical efforts
How do rising levels of carbon monoxide affect your brain?
when carbon monoxide is taken in, it replaces the oxygen in the blood. this deprives cells and tissues of oxygen. It increases risk of high blood pressure and heart disease
What is the medical term meaning condition of deficient oxygen in tissues?
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.
