What else can I help you with?
What happens when the blood reaches tissues or cells that do not have enough oxygen?
The oxyhaemoglobin will break down and oxygen will release. :)
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
When oxygen reaches the alveoli in the lungs, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli into the surrounding capillaries. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which transports it to the body's tissues for use in cellular respiration.
What happens when the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen?
When the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen, they may not be able to function properly. This can lead to cell damage or death. The body may respond by increasing blood flow to the area or causing other cells to release additional oxygen to help support the oxygen-deprived cells.
What happens when fresh air containing oxygen reaches the lungs?
The red blood cells pick it up from the air and take it through the blood stream to the cells in the body.
What happens when oxygen and nutrients get to your cells?
your cells get ENERGY
What happens to oxygen when it reaches the lungs?
When oxygen reaches the lungs, it diffuses through the walls of the tiny air sacs (alveoli) into the surrounding blood vessels. It binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which then carry the oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues and organs. This process allows oxygen to be delivered to cells for energy production.
What happens to the blood when it reaches the lungs?
The blood is oxygenated that is oxygen which has been inhaled is added to the blood and the blood then transports it to other body parts.
How does oxygen from the alveoli reaches the heart?
From the Alveoli, it transfers to red blood cells, which travels through the circulation and reaches the heart.
What happens to blood cells if it has no oxygen?
They die
How many layers of cells does oxygen diffuse through before it reaches a red blood cell?
Oxygen diffuses through two layers of cells: the alveolar epithelial cells lining the lung air sacs and the capillary endothelial cells before it reaches a red blood cell in the pulmonary capillaries.
Oxygen reaches all parts of an animals body when?
Oxygen reaches all parts of an animal's body when it enters the lungs and is carried by the circulatory system, specifically hemoglobin in red blood cells. The oxygen is then delivered to tissues and cells through blood vessels, where it is used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy.
Is oxygen carried to the cells or away from the cells?
Oxygen is primarily carried to the cells by hemoglobin in red blood cells, which binds oxygen in the lungs and transports it through the bloodstream. Once it reaches the cells, oxygen is released and utilized for cellular respiration to produce energy. Afterward, carbon dioxide, a waste product of this process, is carried away from the cells back to the lungs for exhalation.
