I believe it causes the kidneys to secrete more erthyropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the synthesis of red blood cells in bone marrow.

Why does the amount of oxygen in the blood decrease when sleeping?

During sleep, our body's metabolism and oxygen demand decrease. As a result, our breathing rate slows down, leading to a lower intake of oxygen. This reduction in oxygen intake causes a decrease in the amount of oxygen present in the blood.


A decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called what?

A decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called hypoxemia. This can be caused by various factors such as low oxygen levels in the air, lung diseases, or heart conditions. It can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and confusion.


What stimulates the kidney to produce red blood cells?

The hormone erythropoietin (EPO) is produced by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the body. EPO stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, which helps increase oxygen delivery to tissues.


Will water intake effect human blood volume?

For the short term and with reasonable amounts of water, ingested water will increase blood volume only transiently. However if there is kidney or cardiac problems or in cases where massive amounts of water is ingested the increase in volume plus the decrease in osmolarity of the blood is fatal.


What causes paleness in individuals?

Paleness in individuals is often caused by a decrease in blood flow or a low level of red blood cells, which can result from conditions such as anemia, shock, or certain diseases. This lack of blood flow or red blood cells can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the body, resulting in a paler complexion.

Why does a fall in pressure sometimes lead to kidney failure?

Inadequate blood flow to the kidney, as with shock, can lead to a decrease in kidney filtration and, therefore, kidney failure.

Why do they have to keep giving blood for renal artery?

this is because the decrease in blood flow to the kidney will trigger the RENIN ANGIOTENSIN mechanism, which stimulates the Increase of Arterial Blood Pressure to get the kidney more blood, also the kidney one tof the sensetive organs to ischemia


What substance leads to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that blood an carry?

Carbon monoxide is the substance that leads to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that blood can carry. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it binds to hemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen, reducing the blood's ability to transport oxygen to tissues and organs.

Explain how changes in the alveolar structure cause a decrease in the blood oxygen levels in emphysema?

Decrease in alveolar surface area results in less boundary across which oxygen can be absorbed into the blood.


What would happen to the body without kidney?

the people will die if the peole has no kidney the kidney i very importand it filters the unfiltered blood


What would happen if you didn't have a kidney?

You need at least one of the two kidneys which most people have. Kidney(s) "filter" the blood. Poisons build up in the blood without a kidney or a mechanical substitute.

Explain how the changes in alveolar structure cause a decrease in blood oxygen levels in emphysema?

Pneumonia fills the lung's alveoli with fluid, keeping oxygen from reaching the bloodstream.
