What is a negative feed back mechanism for the correction of low blood oxygen concentration?
Oxygen is very vital for your survival. So you tend to think that low oxygen is a powerful stimulator for the respiration. But then, this is not correct. Oxygen is very sparingly soluble in the water or plasma. So oxygen is not used to regulate the respiration. Instead, the carbon bi oxide is highly soluble in water or plasma and the same forms the acid after dissolution. So the concentration of the carbon bi oxide can be easily measured by the respiration centre cells of your brain. That is why the concentration of carbon bi oxide is the stimulating or suppressing factor in case of the respiration. Increase in carbon bi oxide concentration stimulates the respiration and vise verse.

Why does oxygen diffuse from an alveolus to the blood around it?
Oxygen diffuses from an alveolus to the blood around it because of the concentration gradient between the high oxygen concentration in the alveolus and the lower oxygen concentration in the blood. This process allows oxygen to move from the lungs into the bloodstream for transport to the body's cells.
What is secreted in response to hypoxia and produces a negative feedback loop that raises the oxygen concentration of the blood?
Erythropoietin is secreted in response to hypoxia and stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. The increase in red blood cells leads to a higher oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood, helping to raise the oxygen concentration and alleviate the hypoxic condition.
What is the concentration of oxygen in the lungs normally compared to carbon dioxide?
The concentration of oxygen in the lungs is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide. In the alveoli of the lungs, oxygen diffuses into the blood from the air we breathe, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange allows for the uptake of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body.
Where is the lowest concentration of oxygen in the body?
The lowest concentration of oxygen in the body is in the venous blood returning to the heart. This blood has delivered oxygen to tissues and organs and is now returning to the heart to pick up more oxygen in the lungs through respiration.
What is the concentration of oxygen in inhaled air?
Exhaled air contains 16% oxygen and 21% when inhaled.
How counter current exchange mechanism can increase the rate of oxygen?
Counter current exchange allows for maximum oxygen absorption by maintaining a concentration gradient between the blood and the respiratory medium. This mechanism ensures that oxygen diffuses from the medium into the blood continuously, increasing the rate of oxygen uptake. It also minimizes the loss of oxygen by maximizing the diffusion gradient along the entire surface of exchange.
The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve represents a negative feedback mechanism?
A negative feedback mechanism is a system to return a disruption in homeostasis back to homeostasis.A positive feedback mechanism is a system to reinforce or perpetuate a disruption in homeostasis.The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve represents the Partial pressure in oxygen that will be saturated in the amount of hemoglobin.This curve represents a positive feedback because the binding of Oxygen to hemoglobin facilitates more binding of oxygen to hemoglobin (you can see this in the rapid rise in saturation from 10-40 mm Hg) until it reaches 60 mm Hg where it is somewhat completely saturated
What is the percent oxygen concentration if the water temperature is 10 degrees celsius and the oxygen concentration is 12 ppm?
The concentration of oxygen in water is 88,88 %.
What happens to the concentration of oxygen in water when the sewage is added?
The concentration of oxygen decrease.
What happens to the concentration of oxygen in the water when the sewage is added?
The concentration of oxygen decrease.
An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than?
An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than the normal level of around 21%.
Is oxygen's charge positive or negative?
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
Why does oxygen diffuse from an alveolus to the blood around it?
Oxygen diffuses from an alveolus to the blood around it because of the concentration gradient between the high oxygen concentration in the alveolus and the lower oxygen concentration in the blood. This process allows oxygen to move from the lungs into the bloodstream for transport to the body's cells.
Is oxygen a negative charge?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is?
It diffuses because the concentration of oxygen in the capillaries is lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air (law of diffusion).
What direction will oxygen diffuse?
Diffusion is when a molecules spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration so the oxygen will move away from the other oxygen molecules that were in a high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. An example you would relate this to would be if you were to put a drop of food coloring into a glass of water.
Cyanosis is caused by an increased blood concentration of?
Increased concentration of oxygen
