What causes hypoxia in person with COPD?

Hypoxia is where there is low oxygen concentrations in the tissures so therefore this must be due to the lack of oxygen in the blood due to poor/lack of gas exchange caused by the copd


How oxygen is carries in the blood?

The molecules of oxygen stuck to special receptors in the blood (fueled by iron as a mineral). these receptors are called hemoglobine. Roughly, the less iron intake one has, the worse the passage of oxygen is, and such undernourished person may experience shortness of breath due to the lack of iron in his blood.


Because there is more oxygen in an alveolus than in the blood around it oxygen diffuses?

When there is more oxygen in an alveolus than in the blood around it oxygen diffuses from the capillaries to the veins. This is due to the high concentration of oxygen in the alveoli.

What is the reaction to shock?

Shock is a reaction by the body to a general lack of oxygen in the body's tissues, due to a lack of blood circulating around the body. A decrease in blood pressure reduces the flow of oxygen to the vital organs. If the blood flow is not restored, the person may die from complications due to lack of oxygen supply to major organs.Shock can be the result of a number of causes, such as:respiratory arrestspinal injurysevere blood losssevere traumatic injurysevere painShock is the body's reaction to injury and trauma.

Blood is brighter red when it is oxygenated, as oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin, giving blood its bright red color. Deoxygenated blood appears darker red due to the presence of reduced hemoglobin.


What effect does carbon have?

Carbon monoxide binds hemoglobin in blood more tightly than oxygen. This prevents oxygen from binding to blood cells and can cause death due to a lack of oxygen.


What Oxygen diffuses into blood from the?

Oxygen diffuses into the blood from the alveoli in the lungs during the process of respiration. This occurs due to the difference in oxygen concentration between the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries surrounding them. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport to tissues and cells throughout the body.
