Oxygen levels are highest in the alveoli of the lungs, where gas exchange occurs between inhaled air and the bloodstream. This is where oxygen is taken up by red blood cells for transport to the rest of the body.
If you held your breath, the concentration of oxygen in your lungs would gradually decrease as your body continues to consume oxygen for its metabolic processes without replenishing it through breathing. This can lead to hypoxia, a condition where there is insufficient oxygen reaching your tissues.
Red blood cells make up the greatest portion of the blood. They are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and removing carbon dioxide.
Yes, when we breathe in, oxygen from the air enters our lungs. This oxygen is then absorbed into the bloodstream through tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli.
Oxygen is taken in by the lungs through the process of inhalation. When you breathe in, air containing oxygen enters the lungs through the trachea and bronchial tubes, eventually reaching the alveoli where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Smoking damages the lungs by causing inflammation and scarring, leading to decreased lung function and reduced ability to absorb oxygen from the air. This can result in conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema, making it harder for the body to get oxygen.
If you held your breath, the concentration of oxygen in your lungs would gradually decrease as your body continues to consume oxygen for its metabolic processes without replenishing it through breathing. This can lead to hypoxia, a condition where there is insufficient oxygen reaching your tissues.
oxygen makes it redI would think it has to do with the amount of oxygen in the blood stream.
If you have 3 liters of air in your lungs and 2 tenths of that is oxygen, how many milliliters of oxygen are in your lungs?
oxygen
blood takes oxygen and gives carbon dioxide to the lungs
lungs take oxygen into your body
You need oxygen in your lungs in order to breathe. Without blood to transport it your lungs would have none and you wouldn't be able to breathe.
Blood goes to the lungs oxygen poor and comes out of the lungs oxygen rich.
DECREASE :O
Two Functions of lungs are #1 To breath if you did not have lungs you would sufficate and die almost emedietly. #2 The lungs pump oxygen into your body so with out oxygen you DIE!
We would die as lungs send oxygen throughout our bodies. If we do not have lungs, no oxygen will be sent to our heart, so the heart would stop pumping blood throughout our bodies. We would die of lack of oxygen or blood.
the amount of oxygen entering the circulation from the lungs would decrease.
