Your cells need the oxygen to function. That's why it's called "cellular respiration."and you blood needs to be oxygenated so it can carry the O2 (oxygen) to other parts of the body.

What Vital organs die without oxygen?

either your heart because with out it the blood has no oxygen and so cells cannot respire or the brain because if you go without oxygen it can cause permanent brain damage. so probably the heart because without oxygen you'll die.


Why do the humans need oxygen?

Humans need oxygen to survive and think.If you dont have enoff oxygen for your brain it will stop working and you will eventually die.Humans also need oxygen sso that they can breath out carbon dioxide.If we didnt have oxygen we wouldnt have carbon dioxide.Carbon Dioxide is the thing that plants breath in.So if we didnt have oxygen plants would die.And then the animals that eat plants will die.Then the animals that eaet does animals will die.And we are omnivore(means we eat plants and animals)so if there were no plants and animals we will die of hunger That is why we need oxygen Patronum483 :)


How much water does your brain need?

The brain requires about 20% of the body's total water intake to function properly. It is important to stay hydrated throughout the day to ensure optimal cognitive function and overall health. The exact amount of water needed can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and activity level.


Why does the brain require such a large percentage of the body's total blood flow?

The brain contains billions of neurons (nerve cells) which are constantly sending signals to each other and to the rest of the body, whether you're awake or asleep. The neurons send their signals by pumping ions into and out of themselves, which takes energy. Each neuron has millions or billions of ion pumps, so even though a single ion pump doesn't use much energy, all the ion pumps in a neuron multiplied over the billions of neurons in the brain require substantial energy to operate. The blood that travels to the brain delivers the oxygen and glucose necessary for the brain to maintain these activities.


Does a growing embryo need food and oxygen?

Yes, a growing embryo inside a pregnant woman receives food and oxygen from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta. The placenta acts as a bridge for nutrients and oxygen to pass from the mother to the developing embryo.

Why do humans need oxygen to power the brain?

if you want to live you have to breath so that means that you need oxygen to make your brain work so that you will be able to think.


What will happen to a person who loses too much oxygen and is then revived?

You have established in the question that too much oxygen has been lost, so this means that there will be some degree of impairment due to brain damage. How much impairment will depend on how little oxygen the brain received, over how long a period, and on the temperature of the brain.


What does your brain look like when you smoke a lot?

Smoking may not affect the APPEARANCE of the brain much at all, but it will affect how much oxygen reaches the brain. So the brain will become less healthy and work less efficiently over time due to lack of oxygen.


What is in air that you need so much?

Oxygen, of course.


Why is it necessary to separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in living organisms?

They need to be separated so the organs that need oxygen the most, (heart and brain) can definetley get the right amount of oxygen


Why does the blood leaving most organs in the brain have less oxygen than when it entered the brain?

The brain is generally considered one organ, and yes blood delivers oxygen to the brain, so when the blood leaves the brain, it is oxygen depleted. This oxygen fuels the brain through respiration, which gives it the energy to keep you alive and constantly keep your bodily functions in line. There is a blood brain barrier though, so blood never actually enters the brain and oxygen diffuses over this barrier.


Why does the brain need a continuous supply of blood and oxygen?

The brain needs so much blood because it needs a constant supply of it to keep up with the neurons metabolic demands. 20 percent of the blood that comes from the heart is pumped directly to the brain.


Is oxygen found in the human brain?

Yes. In fact, such is the brain's demand for oxygen that it requires 20% of your total oxygen supply. This explains why it is served by so many blood vessels.


Oxyhemoglobin in the blood will give up or release oxygen when?

I t will release Oxygen when the brain contracts to a different dimension. e Hemoglobin is an important component in the way that the brain works. 80% of the Oxygen processed by the brain stands alone in the Arterial section of the brain. The brain needs the blood to process information to other parts of the body. Our feet need oxygen so that we can walk in the same way our brains need oxygen to process a daily percentage of Clomsyness to process the resiual of the brain. A human being has 60 % in their body and 40 % is body mass.


Do you die if you have no oxygen in your blood cell?

No oxygen at all? Yes. This is because certain types of blood cells carries oxygen to your brain. If your brain has no oxygen, it will shut down, and, as a result, so will the rest of your body.


How exercise affects memory?

Exercise increases blood flow to the brain. The brain needs oxygen to function, so the more blood flow, the more oxygen, the better the brain works.


Can too much oxygen harm community tank fish?

No. There is not such thing as too much oxygen just too much carbon. It is good to have a lot of oxygen so the fish dont die because of no oxygen.
