What occurs when the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen?
When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, it can lead to a condition called ischemia, which can result in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This oxygen deprivation can be caused by blockages in the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
What condition is caused by hemoglobin?
hemoglobin is just a pigment in your blood that makes it red...carries oxygen throughout the body...
Where is oxygen transferred to?
Oxygen is transferred to hemoglobin at the alveolar/capillary function. This transfer occurs through diffusion.
Type of hemoglobin contains iron in the ferric state?
Methemoglobin is the type of hemoglobin that contains iron in the ferric state. This occurs when hemoglobin is unable to bind with oxygen and becomes oxidized, resulting in a form of hemoglobin that cannot effectively transport oxygen to tissues.
What is unloading of oxygen?
Unloading of oxygen refers to the release of oxygen from hemoglobin molecules into tissues where oxygen is needed for cellular respiration. This occurs as a result of a decrease in oxygen concentration or an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the tissues, which promotes the dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin.
Name the substance in red blood cells that combines with oxygen?
The protein "Hemoglobin" is responsible for the red color. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind up to 4 oxygen atoms. When fully loaded with oxygen atoms the protein takes on a more bright red color. When deprived of oxygen the protein takes on a darker red/blue color.
What happens to fish deprived from oxygen?
they will swim around at the surface of the water
Is hemophilia a condition in which blood cells will not carry oxygen?
no.. it's sickle cell anemia due to defective hemoglobin which carries oxygen
What is the formula of oxyhaemoglobin?
The formula for oxyhaemoglobin is typically represented as HbO2, where Hb stands for hemoglobin and O2 represents molecular oxygen. In this complex, hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs, facilitating its transport throughout the body. The binding occurs at specific sites on the hemoglobin molecule, allowing for efficient oxygen delivery to tissues.
The transport of oxygen by hemoglobin occurs in the?
capillaries between the cells in the lungs or the capillaries between the cells in the body
What part of the blood cell carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
Which type of transport for oxygen entering into blood cells?
Oxygen is primarily transported into blood cells by binding to hemoglobin molecules within red blood cells. This process occurs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin, forming oxyhemoglobin.
