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.

Why does our blood need oxygen?

It's not really the blood that needs the oxygen. All the living tissues in our bodies needs a steady supply of oxygen, and the blood is what carries that oxygen around and delivers it where it needs to go.

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.


Can you have hypoxia with a 100 percent oxygen content?

Hypoxia refers to the saturation of oxygen in tissues. If you are taking oxygen therapy, even with 100% oxygen, it is still possible for some tissues not to get the right amount of oxygen due to circulatory problems.
