What else can I help you with?
What are some of the effect when you smoke cigarette?
Damage to the lungs and carcinogenic properties and reduction in oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
What binds with oxygen and increases the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity?
c02
What effects oxygen carrying capacity of blood?
There are multiple factors effecting oxygen carrying capacity of blood. These include:Iron levels,The number of red blood cells (the less there are the less oxygen carrying capacity).Diseases which may damage either the red blood cells or the haemoglobin which is the component which actually carries the oxygen.Hydration level of the person, the less water, the less blood volume the less capacity to carry oxygen!!
What is stimulated by the reduction in PO2 at altitude?
A reduction in PO2 at altitude stimulates the release of the hormone erythropoietin from the kidneys. Erythropoietin triggers the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, helping to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and improve oxygen delivery to tissues.
What agent attacks the oxygen carrying capacity of the body?
Blood Agents
What is combining capacity for oxygen?
Combining capacity for oxygen refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that can be bound to hemoglobin in the blood. It is influenced by factors such as the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood and the oxygen saturation level. This measurement is important in assessing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
What is oxygen carrying capacity in humans?
oxygen carrying capacity is 1.34 ml of oxygen per gram of hemoglobin.... taking normal amount of Hb in humans as 15g/ dL , then oxygen carrying capacity for 100 ml of bood will be = 1.34*15 = 20 ml of oxygen approximately.
What element is a component of your red blood cells which increase oxygen carrying capacity of blood?
Iron.
What chemical agent attacks the oxygen carrying capacity of the body?
Blood Agent
What is the name of Blood that has no oxygen in it?
Scientifically speaking, No. If you had blood anywhere in your body with no oxygen, you would most likely be dead. There is, however a condition called deoxygenated blood, which occurs mostly in veins that are returning blood to the heart to be pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries to become oxygenated. The difference between oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood is only about 25%. This means that your blood is always carrying some oxygen, only sometimes at full capacity and sometimes at partial capacity. When it just leaves your lungs, at full capacity, it is carrying its full load at 100%. But when it is returning to the heart and lungs from using up some of its oxygen during metabolism in the body tissues, it is carrying a load of carbon dioxide, which drops its oxygen carrying capacity to 75%. This 75% carrying capacity is called deoxygenated blood. So, I hope your blood has some oxygen in it!
What happens when the blood has less than it normal oxygen carrying capacity?
Brain failure
What is oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells due to?
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to bind to oxygen molecules. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin the red blood cells makes them capable of carrying oxygen.
