How The Oxygen You Breathe Gets Delivered to the Cells of Your Body

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: The respiratory system regulates oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within the blood. Respiration includes ventilation, gas exchange between the air, blood, and tissues within the body, and the use of oxygen for metabolism. Inhalation allows oxygen to enter the body, pulling air into the nose and mouth, lungs, and into the air sacs called alveoli, where gas exchange takes place. Alveoli move freely when air is inhaled and exhaled. Capillaries are small blood vessels that line the walls of the alveoli. During gas exchange, oxygen enters and carbon dioxide exits the bloodstream via the alveolar-capillary membrane. Once oxygen molecules move from the alveoli into the capillaries, they dissolve into the plasma and enter the red blood cell or erythrocyte. Erythrocytes contain millions of soluble proteins called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains four subunits each capable of binding one molecule of oxygen. Once one molecule of oxygen binds to one of the subunits, the other sites bind oxygen more readily. Dissolved and bound oxygen flows through the arterial bloodstream to capillaries within tissues. Upon arrival, carbon dioxide loading of the erythrocyte promotes oxygen unloading. Oxygen metabolism within cells produces carbon dioxide gas as a metabolic waste. Carbon dioxide exits the cells and tissues and is converted into bicarbonate within the erythrocytes. Converting carbon dioxide to bicarbonate releases hydrogen ions that decrease oxygen affinity for hemoglobin, freeing the oxygen to be delivered to tissue cells. After delivering oxygen to the tissues, the carbon dioxide-rich blood returns to the lungs through the venous circulation and then to the pulmonary artery. Inside each erythrocyte, the bicarbonate conversion is reversed, recreating carbon dioxide, which diffuses across the erythrocyte into the alveoli and lungs and is excreted out of the body.

This is the most informative channel for medical terminology ❤❤❤❤

The narrator's voice is an effective treatment for insomnia.

[@shawnscorpion6602]

Definitely 🥱 😴

[@MuhammadSalman-yq5go]

Yes of course very understandable sound

[@Sayandip2-ch5hz]

Could you please recommend a video that covers the secondary effects of concussions, particularly focusing on what happens after axonal shearing and how the recovery process unfolds?As a higher secondary biology student, you've already delved into a lot of information, but messed up with misinformation (even books) , so please a req..... Like for who support 👍

OMG ! me too curious since it happened to my brother who is class 12 topper, he has several cognitive deficits after the last accident which changed his life😢 RIP his brain cells !

[@user-zy9ui3wt9b]

ya same

[@Ane_studies0]

I seriously feel lucky man cause all ur last topics of videos u made in last days are related to my syllabus tysm i am studying from ur channel since my 8th standard ty!!❤

As The Hollies would say, “All I need is the air that I breathe. And to love you.”

These are some of the best animations.

Thank you for the precious knowledge ❤

[@odeliazriker]

Nice one. Thank you

Türkçe altyazılı koyar mısınızz? Severek takip ettiğim bi kanal çünkü:))

[@studyassistant9422]

Nince. Thanks!

[@NABADWIP02]

Nice ❤

so the hydrogen from the pathway of incoming co2 (from cells) to bicarbonate inside erythrocytes is the reason why oxygen leaves the erythrocyte to the normal tissue cells .. these hydrogen levels are increased making the hemoglobin subunits favor it over oxygen releasing it

Хороший ролик.

First day

pretty inefficient

[@OceanSwimmer]

@MrRulz-oc1pv, Pretty damn miraculous. Gas exchange achieved by passive concentration differences requires no energy, and makes all cell functions possible.
