What does the presence cyanosis imply?

When hemoglobin is poorly oxygenated, both the blood and the skin of Caucasians appear blue.It means a blue tinge to your skin, mainly your mucous membranes like your lips and under your mouth/tongue due to a fall in oxygen levels in your blood.Bluish discoloration of tissue from lack of oxygen


What Happens if cells do not get oxygen?

That depends on the type of cell. If the cell is anaerobic, like many types of bacteria, then absence of oxygen does nothing to them and they go about their business. If on the other hand the cell requires oxygen, like eukaryotes, then absence of oxygen will quickly kill the cell because it is unable to perform respiration.


Do animal cells lack a cell wall?

Animal cells lack cell walls so every organism in the kingdom animalia lack a cell wall unlike the organisms in kingdom plantae.


Why can't candles burn in carbon dioxide?

For combustion to occur (that is, a fire to start), oxygen must be present. In an anaerobic environment where oxygen is not present, there can be no combustion reaction. Even though Carbon dioxide contains oxygen (the oxide in dioxide) it must exist as oxygen gas for a fire to start, the carbon and oxygen in CO2 are bonded so tightly that normal reactions cannot separate the two in order for the combustible material to use it. I'm having a hard time attempting to paint a picture of how this works. Imagine this, when a person or animal suffocates due to "lack of oxygen" it is not actually the lack of oxygen that kills them, it is the over abundance of carbon dioxide. When you breath in, you are breathing in everything in the atmosphere, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon. Your body utilizes the oxygen, nitrogen and argon, but it cannot utilize the CO2 so you get rid of it when you exhale. When put into an airtight environment eventually you will have replaced most of the oxygen with carbon dioxide and will only be breathing the CO2 in and since the bonds are too strong for your body to break the carbon and oxygen apart the carbon dioxide is useless to us and our organs and blood do not get the oxygen they need and suffocation occurs. Hopefully this will help you understand a little better that nothing can remove the oxygen from carbon dioxide and like our bodies a flame cannot sustain life with carbon dioxide alone.


Which part of the brain is responsible for adjusting the rate of respiration?

Respiration in humans is controlled by medulla, which is a part of the brain. The medulla is responsible for the provision of adequate amount of oxygen for every activity. Medulla sends signals to our body to provide oxygen for every activity like sleeping, eating, walking, exercising etc. Human brain measures the level of carbon dioxide in blood and makes necessary adjustments to balance the amount of oxygen and controls respiration rate. Breathing is controlled by the brain but it can be controlled voluntarily also like holding ones breath. But this is just temporary and the medulla takes charge again after a few minutes to restore the breathing

Is there such a thing where someone can feel like there is no oxygen in their brain?

yes. when someone feels light headed or dizzy, that is a sign of the lack of oxygen to the brain. since your blood is what carries oxygen, anytime there is a loss of blood to someones brain it does not get enough oxygen and that is when people pass out.

Is the element xenon toxic to humans?

No. Xenon is chemically inert and therefore nontoxic. However, like any other gas it takes up space and can therefore displace oxygen. Such a lack of oxygen can be fatal.


Why are the other planets not same as the earth?

They don't have the charecteristics for life on them, like lack of oxygen and water and ozone layers, and don't have bodies of water like oceans , seas, and lakes.
