Red blood cells carry oxygen but don't use it. The cell is so packed with hemoglobin that it doesn't have space for any organelles including a nucleus.

What are blood that has less or no oxygen?

Blood that has less oxygen is referred to as deoxygenated blood, while blood that has no oxygen is known as venous blood. Deoxygenated blood is typically found in veins returning to the heart, while venous blood is present in the lungs where oxygen is exchanged.


Transportation of oxygen may be compromised by the decrease of?

hemoglobin levels in the blood, which can occur due to conditions like anemia or other blood disorders. This can lead to insufficient oxygen being carried to tissues and organs, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Getting medical treatment to address the underlying cause of low hemoglobin levels is important to improve oxygen transport in the body.


How does oxygen get to all of the body cells?

Oxygen is transported to all body cells by red blood cells in the bloodstream. As blood flows through the lungs, oxygen diffuses into the blood and binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The red blood cells then transport the oxygen to tissues and organs throughout the body where it is released and taken up by cells for energy production.


What is principally responsible for the carriage of oxygen in the blood and what effect does the reaction with oxygen have on its appearance?

Haemoglobin! Carriage of oxygen by red blood cells. Appearence of oxygenated blood-bright red.


What is low oxygen blood level is 74 really bad?

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 is a gas that blocks oxygen from getting into your bloodstream?

Carbon monoxide is a gas that can block oxygen from getting into your bloodstream. When inhaled, it binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cells more readily than oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood.


What is the another job of your lungs besides getting oxygen for your cells?

What is the function of the respiratoy system?

The function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood.


What can be done to increase oxygen in blood during pregnancy?

How does oxygen from the lungs get into the blood?

How does oxygen get from the lungs into the blood?"The red blood cells go to your lungs and they receive the oxygen you breathe in and take it all around the body and then you exhale which is when the blood returns back to the lungs.you are probably in Mr. Good's class or is getting the Circulatory System packet that is part of the Life Science textbook.
