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.

What is secreted in response to hypoxia and produces a negative feedback loop that raises the oxygen concentration of the blood?
erythropoietin
Where is the lowest concentration of oxygen in the body?
You have low concentration of oxygen in the veins. It is low in right side of the heart. It is supposed to be the lowest before it enters the alveoli of the lungs.
Can dissolved oxygen value be a negative value?
it can't be negative but can be zero
Feedforward feedback control?
Feedforward is a preparatory control. EX. Smelling food leads to salivation and production of stomach acid in preparation of food. OR Starting to exercise increases heart rate and breathing rate in preparation of running low on oxygen for muscles. Feedback is a control mechanism where the product of the end mechanism either enhances or inhibits the start of the mechanism Positive feedback enhances Negative feedback inhibits
What is the concentration of oxygen in the lungs normally compared to carbon dioxide?
what is the concentration of oxygemnin the lungs normally compared to carbon dioxide
What is secreted in response to hypoxia and produces a negative feedback loop that raises the oxygen concentration of the blood?
erythropoietin
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.
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
Is oxygen's charge positive or negative?
Oxygen has a negative charge.
What process does a cell with a low concentration of oxygen will likely gain oxygen molecules from an area with a higher oxygen concentration have to go through?
Diffusion.
How would the concentration of ozone molecules change if the concentration of oxygen molecules decreased?
If oxygen decreased, ozone will decrease. It is because ozone is made from oxygen.
Oxygen-carrying mechanism of blood?
haemoglobin
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).
Cyanosis is caused by an increased blood concentration of?
Increased concentration of oxygen
how does temperature affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen?
Temperature has a direct effect on the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water. As the temperature of the water increases, the solubility of oxygen decreases and the concentration of dissolved oxygen will decrease. Conversely, as the temperature of the water decreases, the solubility of oxygen increases and the concentration of dissolved oxygen will increase. Additionally, warmer water is generally less dense than colder water, resulting in less efficient oxygen transfer.
