Which of the following choices describes an oxygen deficient atmosphere?
An oxygen deficient atmosphere is one that lacks a sufficient amount of oxygen to support human or animal life. It can occur in environments where oxygen is depleted, such as in confined spaces or areas with high levels of carbon dioxide, gases, or chemicals that displace oxygen. Breathing in an oxygen deficient atmosphere can lead to suffocation or loss of consciousness.
Which blood vessel does blood oxygen pass through?
Oxygen and other gases pass through the capillaries.

Name two gases found in plasma?
The carbon dioxide and oxygen are the two main gases in plasma. When blood travels to the lungs the concentration of these two gases changes.

How your lungs refine oxygen from other gases?
Your lungs refine oxygen from the other gases in air because the gases diffuse through the cell walls in the alveoli in your lungs through osmosis (higher concentration of gases in the air than in the blood, so gases move from the higher concentration to the lower concentration) where they contact the red blood cells. The hemoglobin in the red blood cells binds to the oxygen and leaves all the other gases alone. It moves on from the lungs and delivers the oxygen to the rest of the body. It's the hemoglobin that does the work.
