What is the term for blue skin from lack of oxygen in the blood?
It could be anemia, or it could be carbon monoxide poisoning.HypoxiaActually, hypoxia can be characterized as cellular oxygen deficiency and may occur if too little oxygen enters the blood. The correct answer would be anemia.Anemiasimply anemiaAnemiasanemiaAnemia is a blood condition where their is either a reduced amount of hemogloblin molecules, or the inability to efficiently bind oxygen molecules to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin molecules are located within red blood cells. As red blood cells pass through the lungs, the hemoglobin unloads carbon dioxide and exchanges it for oxygen. Up to four oxygen molecules can bind to each hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin then transports the newly loaded oxygen molecules throughout the systemic portion of the cardiovascular system, where they are once again exchanged for carbon dioxide at the tissues (and the oxygen is unloaded into the tissues). Individuals with anemia cannot transport adequate amounts of oxygen to tissues because their is either not enough oxygen molecules bound to hemoglobin, or the hemoglobin are not properly functioning as they should. Amemia is the most common type of blood disorder. Hope this helps!anemiaanemia

Because adequate blood flow is required to provide the organs and tissues with oxygen, vasculitis causes damage to oxygen-deprived organs and tissues
What is Necessary for the blood to carry adequate oxygen?
A protein called haemoglobin in the red blood cells. The haemoglobin can loosely bond with oxygen allowing it to transport oxygen from the lungs to the other parts of the body.
Cyanosis is caused by an increased blood concentration of?
Increased concentration of oxygen
Why blood is not getting oxygen?
Red blood cells carry oxygen but don't use it. The cell is so packed with hemoglobin that it doesn't have space for any organelles including a nucleus.
