Which organ's blood flow pattern results in low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high oxygen levels causing vasodilation?
lungs
How can the oxygen you bring in to your body get into your circulatory system?
your lungs have structures called alveoli. The alveoli are surrounded by capillary beds which carry blood. The oxygen enters the alveoli when you inhale. The oxygen then diffuses from high concentration in your alveoli to low concentration the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
How does blood carry oxygen around the body?
The blood moves around the body inside the circulatory system. This is made up of arteries, veins and capillaries. The blood keeps moving through these blood vessels because it is pumped by the heart. Valves prevent the blood from flowing backwards. The blood always circulates through the body in the same direction.
What kind of chemical is in your red blood cells that can pick up oxygen and carbon dioxide?
hemoglobin it contains Iron (Fe) which is why its important to get a source of iron in your diet Each hemoglobin can carry 4 oxygen molecules-if oxygen was not bound in hemoglobin the blood would not be able to have a high enough saturation to supply tissues Carbon dioxide does not use hemoglobin as much as oxygen and more carbon dioxide can be dissolved in the blood itself compared to oxygen Also using the bicarbonate buffer CO2 is converted into HCO3- which can be even more dissolved in the blood than CO2 alone
What does a high Glucose mean?
I think it usually means there is a lot of sugar in the blood.
What is the color of blood that's high in oxygen?
When blood is oxygen-rich, it is bright red. Therefore, when blood is oxygen-poor, it is darker in color. When oxygen-poor blood flows through the lungs from the pulmonary arteries, it gets rid of the carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen, which then becomes oxygen-rich blood with a bright red color.
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
What type of blood has low oxygen and high carbon dioxide?
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
Where does blood go a brighter color?
Blood is bright red due to the high concentrations of oxygen in it. This blood is known as oxygenated blood. Blood that appears dark in color or "blue" is blood that has been used by the body and has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in it. This blood in known as deoxygenated blood!
The blood in your veins is high in what?
Oxygen.
What kind of blood does lungs have?
Same blood as everywhere else. The difference is the gases in the blood: it enters the lungs low on oxygen and high in CO2, it leaves high in oxygen and low in CO2.
Where does the heart pump blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide?
The heart pumps blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide to the lungs, where blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
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.
Does blood come from the heart have a high or a low level of oxygen?
All blood coming from the heart travels through arteries but not all have high levels of oxygen.The blood that goes to the body is high in oxygen but the blood that goes to the lungs is low in oxygen.There it drops of carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen and carries this back to the heart to be pumped out to the body.
When the blood arrives at the heart it has a high concentration of what?
oxygen
Which pulmonary blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
Why is blood that flows from the lungs to the heart bright red rather?
Different amounts of oxygen alter its color due to the high levels of iron in the hemoglobin. Coming from the lung region, blood is extremely oxygen-rich, making it a brighter red. When the oxygen is stripped away the blood turns blue.
