What is oxygen carrying capacity in humans?
oxygen carrying capacity is 1.34 ml of oxygen per gram of hemoglobin.... taking normal amount of Hb in humans as 15g/ dL , then oxygen carrying capacity for 100 ml of bood will be = 1.34*15 = 20 ml of oxygen approximately.
What is oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells due to?
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to bind to oxygen molecules. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin the red blood cells makes them capable of carrying oxygen.
Oxygen deficiency is called hypoxia Suggest two possible causes of inadequate delivery of oxygen to the body tissues?
Two possible causes of inadequate delivery of oxygen to body tissues include reduced concentration of oxygen in the air, such as at high altitudes or in poorly ventilated areas, and impaired oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells due to conditions like anemia.
Why do people who live in the mountains have more blood?
Those living at higher altitudes require more oxygen carrying capacity in their blood since the air is less dense - consequently there is less oxygen in each breath of air. To compensate for this, the body tends to produce more red blood cells to carry the available oxygen.
What does HGB on lab work mean?
HGB on lab work stands for hemoglobin, which is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. The HGB level in the blood indicates the amount of hemoglobin present, which is important for assessing oxygen-carrying capacity and diagnosing conditions such as anemia.
What chemical agent attacks the oxygen carrying capacity of the body?

What is reduction in oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is known as?
Anemia is any condition in which the oxygen-carring capacity of blood is less than that required by the body.
What is the name of Blood that has no oxygen in it?
Scientifically speaking, No. If you had blood anywhere in your body with no oxygen, you would most likely be dead. There is, however a condition called deoxygenated blood, which occurs mostly in veins that are returning blood to the heart to be pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries to become oxygenated. The difference between oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood is only about 25%. This means that your blood is always carrying some oxygen, only sometimes at full capacity and sometimes at partial capacity. When it just leaves your lungs, at full capacity, it is carrying its full load at 100%. But when it is returning to the heart and lungs from using up some of its oxygen during metabolism in the body tissues, it is carrying a load of carbon dioxide, which drops its oxygen carrying capacity to 75%. This 75% carrying capacity is called deoxygenated blood. So, I hope your blood has some oxygen in it!
What is oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells due to?
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to bind to oxygen molecules. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin the red blood cells makes them capable of carrying oxygen.
How might a lack of dietary iron affect the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood?
Iron is required by the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to all areas of the body. A lack of dietary iron could decrease the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, which can lead to anemia.
What agent attacks the oxygen carrying capacityof the body?
A variety of different factors can disrupt the body's ability. A main one is carbon monoxide, which combines with red blood cells more easily than oxygen. Search 'carbon monoxide poisoning'
