What does oxygen do?
Oxygen allow our bodies to breathe and live. The amount of oxygen needed will depend on the activity. For instance, when exercising, you would need more oxygen than if you are sitting at rest.
What happens when your muscles cells run out of oxygen?
Cells that do not require oxygen go through anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration that uses fermentation to turn energy into useful energy. There are two types of anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Muscle cells do this when they run out of oxygen and go through fermentation instead. The product of this type of fermentation from muscle cells is lactic acid. Lactic acid is toxic and causes soreness and fatigue. Anybody who has been sore after exercise has experienced lactic acid fermentation.
What happens in the body during carbon monoxide poisioning?
Carbon monoxide poisoning prevents red blood cells from carrying out their normal function of transporting oxygen throughout the body. Consequently, all the cells of the body will suffer from lack of oxygen, which will prevent them from carrying out their normal metabolic functions and make them effectively shut down. The brain is the most sensitive to lack of oxygen, and within minutes, will suffer unconsciousness and then death, when deprived of oxygen.
What transports oxygen around the human body?
Oxygen is breathed through the nose or mouth and travels to the lungs through the bronchial tubes, then absorbed through the alveoli into the bloodstream. In the bloodstream the oxygen is transported all over the body by red blood cells. So, red blood cells would be your answer.
Which of these items contains hemoglobin which carries oxygen to all cells and removes carbon dioxide?
Red Blood Cells contains hemoglobin and carries oxygen to all cells....
What happens if cells have no oxygen?
you would die cause of no oxygen
What happens when oxygen and nutrients get to your cells?
your cells get ENERGY
What happens when we use the oxygen in our cells faster than it can be replaced?
You would get dehydrate which can be fatal.
What happens to blood cells if it has no oxygen?
They die
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the cells?
it is used in metabolic process
What happens if red blood cells stop working?
If they do, it would be the same as if someone cut your air off. You would die due to lack of oxygen.
What happens to the blood in the body cells?
it give up oxygen to the cell.
What type of transport happens when oxygen is absorbed into cells?

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 in your muscle tissue and cells when the demand of oxygen is not met?
If the demand for oxygen is not met for a long period of time, the cells within the muscle tissue will die.
What happens in the body cells during repiration?
Respiration is a process of taking in oxygen and giving out of carbondioxide. The oxygen carried by the blood cells transfers oxygen to the tissues and takes up carbondioxide from the tissue.
What happens when the red blood cells turn dark red?
It loses oxygen!
