If your blood was ever truly too acidic or basic, you're body would go into massive shutdown as your blood completely dissolved you from the inside out. However, unless some organs are failing, you have absolutely no need to worry. Lots of alternative medicine sites would love to sell you magical concoctions that will balance your body's pH, and these are just a bunch of crackpot products that make completely unverified claims. You probably can get your chi balanced and your chakras realigned for free if you buy in bulk. If you did have organ failure, you'd be on an IV under the supervision of trained medical staff.So you, like most of the non-organ-failure public, will never need to worry about purchasing buffers or any other such nonsense. I suspect that most of those buying such products may have at least one failed organ: their brains.
I have COPD. My oxygen level went as low as 84% on my personal oximeter when I was at 7,000 feet elevation in Mexico City for two weeks. Deep breathing would bring it up again, but it was a struggle... A doctor has said that underoxegenating my organs will 'catch up with me", but he didn't explain what that means. What could be the consequences? I am 72 years old.
The oxyhaemoglobin will break down and oxygen will release. :)
Once oxygenated blood reaches the capillaries, the velocity of the blood is very slow - which favours the exchange of oxygen. Oxygen therefore diffuses across the walls of the capillaries into the tissues that need it.
They die because they are unable to produce energy and function. And shrink
When your oxygen saturation levels drop, your blood is not carrying enough oxygen to provide your body the levels it needs. If they drop low enough, your body will shut down and you can die. If you are hooked to a ventilator, this will help the body increase the oxygen saturation levels in your blood, potentially saving your life.
The oxygen poor blood (not enough oxygen) goes to the lungs to get more oxygen to turn into oxygen rich blood (has plenty of oxygen)
blood take oxygen from blood.
your heart beats faster to get the blood pumping around your body
well, you die
They die
It clots.
If there is not enough dissolved oxygen in water then most things will not be able to live in it.
You yawn.
