When you exercise, your respiratory rate increases. This is true regardless of whether you exercise by stationary methods such as weight lifting, or by a traveling method such as jogging or biking. Clearly, an active body needs more oxygen than a body at rest. The reason for this lies in the complex chemical processes in your muscles and your bloodstream.

How does perfluorooctyl bromide supply oxygen to tissues?

Perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) is a synthetic oxygen carrier that dissolves a large amount of oxygen which can be released to tissues in need. When PFOB is administered intravenously, it can carry oxygen in the bloodstream, allowing tissues to extract the oxygen they need for metabolism.


Why don't red blood cells need oxygen?

Red blood cells do not need oxygen because their primary function is to transport oxygen to all tissues in the body. They contain a protein called hemoglobin that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to cells throughout the body.

The iron-containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues would be "Hemoglobin".


How does oxygen reach the respiring tissues?

Oxygen is transported to the respiring tissues through the bloodstream. It is first inhaled into the lungs, where it diffuses into the blood vessels in the alveoli. Hemoglobin in red blood cells binds to the oxygen, allowing it to be carried throughout the body and released to cells in need of oxygen for respiration.


What does the blood bring to the tissues?

It brings both oxygen and nutrients to all types of tissue.


How does the heart supply the body with oxygen?

The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the entire body through the circulatory system. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and then is pumped by the heart to deliver the oxygen to all cells and tissues in the body. This process ensures that the body's cells have the oxygen they need to function properly.
