What else can I help you with?
Is frostbite caused by too little oxygen reaching the cells?
Not exactly, it is caused by the cells actually freezing and dying.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the cells?
it is used in metabolic process
What happens when the blood reaches tissues or cells that do not have enough oxygen?
The oxyhaemoglobin will break down and oxygen will release. :)
How does oxygen from the alveoli reaches the heart?
From the Alveoli, it transfers to red blood cells, which travels through the circulation and reaches the heart.
How many layers of cells does oxygen diffuse through before it reaches a red blood cell?
Oxygen diffuses through two layers of cells: the alveolar epithelial cells lining the lung air sacs and the capillary endothelial cells before it reaches a red blood cell in the pulmonary capillaries.
What happens when the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen?
When the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen, they may not be able to function properly. This can lead to cell damage or death. The body may respond by increasing blood flow to the area or causing other cells to release additional oxygen to help support the oxygen-deprived cells.
Oxygen reaches all parts of an animals body when?
Oxygen reaches all parts of an animal's body when it enters the lungs and is carried by the circulatory system, specifically hemoglobin in red blood cells. The oxygen is then delivered to tissues and cells through blood vessels, where it is used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy.
Is oxygen carried to the cells or away from the cells?
Oxygen is primarily carried to the cells by hemoglobin in red blood cells, which binds oxygen in the lungs and transports it through the bloodstream. Once it reaches the cells, oxygen is released and utilized for cellular respiration to produce energy. Afterward, carbon dioxide, a waste product of this process, is carried away from the cells back to the lungs for exhalation.
When oxygen reaches this organ how is it delivered to every single cell in the body?
When oxygen reaches the lungs, it enters the alveoli, where it diffuses into the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells. The heart then pumps these oxygen-rich red blood cells through the circulatory system, delivering oxygen to tissues and cells throughout the body via capillaries. Oxygen is released from hemoglobin and diffuses into cells, where it is used for cellular respiration to produce energy. This efficient transport system ensures that every cell receives the oxygen it needs to function.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
When oxygen reaches the alveoli in the lungs, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli into the surrounding capillaries. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which transports it to the body's tissues for use in cellular respiration.
People living at high altitudes have thicker blood so that what gas reaches body cells?
oxygen
Does frostbite kill cells?
Yes, ice crystals form and burst the cells.
