What chemical alteration of the blood stream results from emphysema?
Emphysema causes lower oxygen levels in the blood.
What color are blood cells when they have on oxygen?
The red blood cells themselves do not take any action to get more oxygen, but the kidneys sense a lack of oxygen and produce more erythropoietin (hormone responsible for producing red blood cells) and this in turn increases oxygen levels
Having below normal oxygen levels in the body tissues and cells?
Hypoxemia means having below normal oxygen levels in the blood.
What is anoxemia?
Loss or reduction of normal oxygen levels in the blood.
What is oxygens normal pressure?
When determining the blood oxygen level, doctors look for levels in the normal range. A normal arterial blood oxygen level is generally between 75 and 100 mmHg.
In a sickle cell decease variation in one gene causes red blood cells to bend or sickle. this means the sickle cell?
Cannot carry normal levels of oxygen to cells :) *NovaNet*
Why do people in high attitude usually have more red blood cells than other people?
as the altitude is higher there is a reduced oxygen levels. oxygen is transported by healthy red blood cells. a greater number is found in residents of high altitude to ensure normal balances of oxygen uptake.
Why do babies with tetrology of fallot have blood with more lactic acid than a normal baby?

What should a person due with low blood oxygen?
People with COPD may intermittently cough up blood, which is usually due to ... Low oxygen levels in the blood can give a blue tint to the skin (cyanosis).
A decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called what?
