A normal blood oxygen level should be 90 or above (90-99). Any level below 89 qualifies you for oxygen. 74 is low and it means your brain and body are not getting enough oxygen. You should be evaluated by a pulmonologist and you should be on oxygen.

What do white blood cells have that red blood cells do not have?

White blood cells are very different that red blood cells. Red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues, white blood cells have the function of fighting off infections. Red blood cells also have no nucleus, white blood cells do, infact some even have multiple. There is only one type of red blood cell. There are many different types of white blood cells, each has a different function in adaptive and innate immunity.

Room air contains 21 percent oxygen-what amount is exhaled?

We breathe air that is 21 percent oxygen, and we require oxygen to live. So you might think that breathing 100 percent oxygen would be good for us -- but actually it can be harmful. So, the short answer is, pure oxygen is generally bad, and sometimes toxic. To understand why, you need to go into some detail … Your lungs are basically a long series of tubes that branch out from your nose and mouth (from trachea to bronchi to bronchioles) and end in little thin-walled air sacs called alveoli. Think of soap bubbles on the end of a straw, and you'll understand alveoli. Surrounding each alveolus are small, thin-walled blood vessels, called pulmonary capillaries. Between the capillaries and the alveolus is a thin wall (about 0.5 microns thick) through which various gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen) pass. When you inhale, the alveoli fill with this air. Because the oxygen concentration is high in the alveoli and low in the blood entering the pulmonary capillaries, oxygen diffuses from the air into the blood. Likewise, because the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher in the blood that's entering the capillaries than it is in the alveolar air, carbon dioxide passes from the blood to the alveoli. The nitrogen concentration in the blood and the alveolar air is about the same. The gases exchange across the alveolar wall and the air inside the alveoli becomes depleted of oxygen and rich in carbon dioxide. When you exhale, you breathe out this carbon dioxide enriched, oxygen-poor air.


How does your body get oxygen from the air. How does your body breathe in the air when there is heaps of bad stuff in the air?

When you inhale, air enters your body through the nose or mouth, travels down the windpipe, and then into the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen from the air passes into tiny air sacs called alveoli and then into the bloodstream. Despite pollutants or bad stuff in the air, the body's filtration system helps to reduce the impact by trapping particles in the nose, throat, and lungs before they reach the delicate alveoli. However, long-term exposure to high levels of pollutants can still have negative health effects.

What happens when the blood Oxygen level drops below 81?

A blood oxygen level below 81 is considered extremely low and can lead to severe hypoxemia. This can result in symptoms such as shortness of breath, confusion, dizziness, and even loss of consciousness. Emergency medical attention is required to address the underlying cause and increase oxygen levels in the blood.

Does deoxygenated blood mean no oxygen blood?

Taken literally, deoxygenated means "without oxygen," but physiologically it means blood that has dropped its oxygen load to the tissues. There is still oxygen bound to hemoglobin in deoxygenated blood, just not as much as oxygenated blood.
