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.

∙ 12y agoit is because blood cant use oxygen. it uses the oxygen molecules that the lungs extract from the air that is inhaled. so technically, you blood is getting oxygens MOLECULES . not oxygen

∙ 13y agoLow blood oxygen may be caused by poor blood circulation, or heart or breathing problems. It can also be caused by being in a low-oxygen environment or by carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.
After blood releases oxygen to the cells of the body the blood becomes?
After blood releases oxygen to the cells of the body the blood becomes deoxygenized. It then travels back to the heart to get more oxygen.
What organ gets oxygen into the blood?
The lungs are the organ that gets oxygen into the blood.
What does normal-sized spleen wth heterogeneous perfusion mean?
Heterogeneous means not consistent all the way through, and perfusion is talking about blood supply (actually its talking about oxygen supply, but in reality we see blood supply, but they are roughly the same since the blood carries the oxygen). So a spleen with heterogeneous perfusion means that some parts are getting more blood (oxygen) than other parts.
How does oxygen get to all of the body cells?
Each haemoglobin molecule in the blood takes on 4 oxygen molecules in the lungs; that freshly-oxygenated blood returns to the heart for distribution around the body so the oxygen can be transferred to tissue cells needing it.
Why does the oxygen need to travel into the blood?
All the cells require oxygen, and so the way of them getting it is via the blood.
How can oxygen get into your blood?
By getting any type of cut on any part of your body. (Theres oxygen in the air)
Why do you hickup?
There is a slight increase of carbon dioxide in the blood. Hicups are your body's way of getting more oxygen into the blood.
What does oxygenated blood mean?
It means blood that is filled with oxygen.It means the Haem group has bonded with 4 oxygen atoms, and is 'full'.Oxygenated blood runs through the arteriesBasically, it means that there's oxygen in the blood
What is the another job of your lungs besides getting oxygen for your cells?
Regulating the Ph of your blood.
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?
Sometimes during labor, the baby isn't getting enough oxygen, so the doctors give the mother an oxygen mask to increase the amount in the blood to get it to the baby.
What is the medical term meaning condition of deficient oxygen in tissues?
The condition of deficient oxygen is hypoxia, and the condition of no oxygen is anoxia. Blood cells are aerobic so they need oxygen to survive. If you have below normal oxygen levels, you're not providing your blood with its fuel; you're basically starving your blood cells. Blood delivers oxygen to your tissues before returning to your lungs to fill up again. So if your blood isn't getting enough oxygen, neither will any other part of your body.
How does smoking affect your skin temperature?
It raises the temperature as your blood vessels are getting less oxygen.
How does oxygen from the lungs get into the blood?
