Why is the blood received by the right atrium dark red?
It is returning from the body's tissues and lower is oxygen. Oxygen causes the blood to be red like rust. The lower the amount of oxygen the less red the blood is.
How does iron affect the transport of oxygen?
Iron is used to form haemoglobin. Haemoglobin in red blood cells are used to bind oxygen to it. With less iron, there would be less haemoglobin to bind oxygen. Thus, less oxygen would be transported in the red blood cell.
Why do people who live in the mountains have more blood?
Those living at higher altitudes require more oxygen carrying capacity in their blood since the air is less dense - consequently there is less oxygen in each breath of air. To compensate for this, the body tends to produce more red blood cells to carry the available oxygen.
Is it possible to have naturally thick blood?
People who live in high altitudes (where there is less oxygen available) have more red blood cells to carry oxygen than people who live in lower altitudes (where there is more oxygen available), so their blood is thicker.
If the person is anemic what is the effect on the amount of oxygen that combines with blood?
If a person is anemic, then the amount of oxygen in their blood is less than it should be. Would you like me to go in more depth?
What effects oxygen carrying capacity of blood?
There are multiple factors effecting oxygen carrying capacity of blood. These include:Iron levels,The number of red blood cells (the less there are the less oxygen carrying capacity).Diseases which may damage either the red blood cells or the haemoglobin which is the component which actually carries the oxygen.Hydration level of the person, the less water, the less blood volume the less capacity to carry oxygen!!
How does the separation of deoxygenated blood from oxygenated blood make distribution of materials such as oxygen more efficient?
If both types of blood is mixed, you get less saturated blood. It will give out oxygen less efficiently. Because oxygen is released according to concentration gradient.
How can blood clotting affect your respiration?
less blood, oxygen and glucose can get to the heart and blood
How does an oxygen molecule get into a red blood cell from the air you breathe?
Ossomosis. The blood travels near the lungs then Oxygen travels from the lungs to the blood. More->Less And the previous blood, does the same with CO2 More->Less.
What genetic disease makes you have less oxygen in your blood?
Diarrhea
What are veins without oxygen?
Varicose Veins 2nd answer: . . . or, blood vessels with less oxygen are veins?
Why is the blood received by the right atrium dark red?
It is returning from the body's tissues and lower is oxygen. Oxygen causes the blood to be red like rust. The lower the amount of oxygen the less red the blood is.
Does a person who is smoking carry as much oxygen in their blood as a non smoker?
no, the red blood cells carry less oxygen when the person smokes
Why do people suffering from anaemia get tired easily?
Iron is needed to produce haemoglobin, which is the part of the blood that carries oxygen throughout the body. A lack of haemoglobin means less oxygen available to be utilised by cells for energy
What does smoking do to your blood vessels?
Reduces the amount of oxygen the blood can carryBody organs receive less oxygen from blood
What is lack of oxygen in blood?
The term is hypoxemia lack of oxygen in the blood means that the hemoglobin oxygen complex is not being formed properly the oxygen hemoglobin complex is HbO4 if less than four oxygen molecules combine with one hemoglobin then it is called oxygen deficiency in the blood It can also be caused by a lack of red blood cells-anemia
Less oxygen in blood more oxygen in blood which organ?
Left side of the heart (left ventricle and atrium) has deoxygenated blood, but after its pumped through the lungs and enters the right side of the heart, the blood is oxygenated. If you divide the circulatory system into 'organs', then veins and venules have less oxygen, while arteries and arterioles have more oxygen. With other organs, there should be indistinguishably equal amounts of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
