How does a permanent move from sea level to high-altitude area effect RBC?

A permanent move from sea level to a high-altitude area can lead to an increase in red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) due to lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. This is the body's way of compensating for the reduced oxygen availability in the atmosphere by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.


What takes oxygen from the air into the blood?

The lungs are responsible for taking oxygen from the air and transferring it into the bloodstream. In the lungs, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide through tiny air sacs called alveoli. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and is then carried throughout the body to be used by cells for energy production.


How much oxygen is in a person's body?

The number of hemoglobin molecules in a red blood cell is approximated to be somewhere between 250 million to 270 million. each hemoglobin molecule contains 4 heme groups which can each bind to one molecule of O2 (250 x 10 ^6)(4) = 1 x 10 ^9 = 1,000,000,000 (270 x 10 ^6)(4) = 1.08 x 10 ^9 = 1,080,000,000


How does carbon dioxide enter the cell?

as the blood in your body travels around it collects carbon dioxide molecules and carries them through your blood stream back to the lungs the the molecules are then passed to the alveoli and are expelled from the body during respiration the carbon dioxide free blood then travels back to the heart to be pumped around the body to continue the cycle constantly.


Why is oxygen important to your human body?

Oxygen is important cells as without oxygen the human body is unable to release enough energy to support life. In theory any other element in the oxygen-group on the Periodic Table can be used to release energy but because other elements in that group are not easily turned into gases they can't used. Last comment; Oxygen is not important for blood; its important for the blood cells themselves and other cells. Blood and blood cells are very different.

Why is hemoglobin present in red blood cells?

It makes the red blood cell much better at carrying oxygen!! It can absob oxygen easily and doesn't "leak" oxygen as the blood travels to the body tissues where the oxygen is needed!

Do red blood cells produce anitbodies?

No. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. Antibodies are produced by a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell.
