Would breathing pure oxygen cause a large increase in oxygen transport by the blood in a person with a low alveolar oxygen?

We know that our blood has a pigment called Haemoglobin,which gives characteristic red colour to blood.A haemoglobin molecule carries a maximum of 4 oxygen molecules,and is called 100% saturated when it does so.So,breathing pure oxygen doesn't increase the transport of oxygen.

When oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
A protein called hemoglobin present in red blood cells is able to bind oxygen molecules. Capillaries surround the alveolar sacs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood where it is bound by hemoglobin. Now, the oxygen is in the blood.
Plenty of oxygen?
Plenty of oxygen will provide your lungs with enough air to perform respiration. Plenty of oxygen will allow combustion to occur, allow oxidation to occur. Your question needs more detail. Respiration Respiration (or just breathing) means the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.
What do you use 'air' for?
Air is used for breathing. Breathing is used to introduce oxygen into our system. Oxygen is necessary for life. Without breathing in air we would die.
When oxygen- breathing organisms first thrived?
The Paleozoic era was the era when oxygen-breathing organisms first thrived.
Oxygen is required in biological systems for what?
We need it to breathe
Why does breathing increase?
because more oxygen is needed.
Why do breathing rates increase in crowded rooms?
Your rate of breathing increases in a crowded area because there is less oxygen. This is because there are more people breathing in the oxygen.
Give two functions of the breathing system?
1) Transport of oxygen into the body 2) Transport of carbon dioxide out of the body
What are two ways to increase the rate of oxygen up take?
Two ways to increase oxygen pick up by mammals would include breathing more deeply and breathing more rapidly
What is it called when you exercise and you increase oxygen and it stimulate the heart and lungs?
Breathing.
What can the breathing rate increase to during exercise?
When we take exercise our body needs more oxygen .Our normal breathing rate do not fulfill the oxygen requirement due to which breathing rate is increased.
What is central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome?
form of breathing-related sleep disorder. Central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome. This disorder is found most often in extremely obese people. The patient's airway is not blocked, but his or her blood oxygen level is too low.
The rates of breathing of people in an overcrowded area increase?
Because the local rise in carbon dioxide levels triggers a feedback system that increases breathing to increase the blood oxygen level. There is probably some anxiety effect in some people too.
Give three short term effects of exercise and explain why they occur?
Increase in breathing rate - occurs to allow the replenishment of ATP/ glycogen stores and blood oxygen levels Increase in heart rate - occurs to allow the transport of oxygen to working muscles and to reoxigenate blood Increase in rate of perspiration - Occurs to increase cooling of the body and As a by product of the chemical reaction of energy
Why does breathing rate increase at a high altitude?
At high altitude, there is less oxygen, so breathing rate is increased to compensate.
Does the respiratory system transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells?
The respiratory system is a vehicle for gases to get from the atmosphere into the body, but the respiratory system itself does not transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.When oxygen reaches the alveolar region of the lungs (that's to say, where the alveoli are located) oxygen is exchanged with red blood cells that take the oxygen to the rest of the body.
Exercise that increases oxygen intake to stimulate the heart and lungs?
To increase the oxygen intake to stimulate the heart and lungs. You can try exercises like pursed-lip breathing and deep belly breathing to open your airways and increase the amount of oxygen in your body.
