Its a critical component of the oxidative phosphorylation energy pathway. Without it, the organs would have to rely on glycolysis alone which cannot produce enough ATP for the organ to survive.

Why is it important to separate oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood in mammals?

Separating oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in mammals is important because it allows for efficient delivery of oxygen to tissues that need it. By keeping the two types of blood separate, mammals can maintain a high concentration of oxygen in the blood going to tissues while also removing waste carbon dioxide efficiently. This separation is achieved through the double circulation system in mammals, which ensures that oxygenated blood from the lungs does not mix with deoxygenated blood returning from the body tissues.


How do tissues get the oxygen they need for energy production?

The tissues get oxygen from oxygenated blood supply for energy production.


What sends oxygenated blood from heart to body?

The circulatory system which includes the heart and arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body cells.


How does the organs in the circulatory system work?

The circulatory system consists of two main parts - the heart and the blood vessels namely arteries ( which carry pure [ oxygenated ] blood ) and veins ( which carry impure [deoxygenated] blood ). This system is responsible for orderly flow of blood or proper bllod circulation throughout the body and also makes sure that each organ is supplied with pure ( oxygenated ) blood.


Why do birds have high blood pressure?

Because they have small bodies and they need a high blood pressure to fly.The blood carries oxygen and muscles use this oxygen. Flying uses this oxygen very quickly so naturally the heart has to pump it faster. This is the same situation with humans. When Humans run their heart rate and blood pressure increase to get more oxygen to those muscles being used.

What organ of the body gets only oxygenated blood supply?

All respiring cells in our body need oxygen for respiration, so oxygenated blood has to travel all around the body in order to reach each of these cells.


Why is it necessary to separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in living organisms?

They need to be separated so the organs that need oxygen the most, (heart and brain) can definetley get the right amount of oxygen


What does the circulatory and excretory system aid in?

the circulatory system distributes oxygenated blood all over your body, which your organs need. The excretory system i dno


Is an Artery a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the body?

Generally speaking, arteries carry oxygenated blood while veins carry de-oxygenated blood. Cells in your body need the oxygen carried by arteries, so the heart pumps it away from the heart, towards the other organs in your body.After the organs use the oxygen in the blood, it is carried back to your heart and lungs by the veins.

Why do the wall of arteries need to be thicker than the wall of veins?

Blood in the arteries is under extremely high pressure as its taking oxygenated blood from our heart.Veins take low pressure unoxygenated blood back to our heart.


What part of the circulatory system carries blood to the organs?

The arteries are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart and distributing it to the organs in the body. They branch out into smaller blood vessels called arterioles that further transport blood to the organs for oxygen and nutrient delivery.


How those the heart help the body?

It pumps oxygenated blood to the body, which we need to survive.


Blood get pump from the ...... to the lungs to pick up oxygen?

Right ventricle. Blood gets pumped from the body to the lungs where it is oxygenated then returns to the heart where it is pumped to the the other organs that need oxygen, e.g. the brain.


Which one of the blood vessels carriers oxygenated blood?

From what I've learned in A$P2 is that these blood vessels, the artery(red-like color) and the vein(blue-like color) both carries oxygenated blood throughout the body, but the artery carries the rich oxygenated blood which we need for our body, while the vein carries the poor oxygenated blood, along with carbon dioxide, back to the lungs to be cleaned.I hope this helps


Why does your heart relax when you sleep?

Because it's not having to supply large amounts of oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. During sleep, most muscles relax, and our organs need to do less work to keep us alive. Therefore, the heart doesn't need to pump as much blood around our bodies


Why is it necessary to separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in mammals and birds?

I think it is because if they weren't then our body would be pumping around semioxygenated blood and we all know we can't survive without oxygen
