- Oxygen diffuses from the inhaled air in the alveoli of the lungs, where its concentration is higher, into the cytoplasm of red blood cells, where its concentration is lower. Patients diagnosed with emphysema have damaged alveoli. This results to fewer, larger air spaces instead of many small ones. Explain how this damage can lead to shortness of breath? The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells. The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blood B cells. The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells. The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells.arrow_forwardUsing the text provided (ignore questions in bottim right of the text) Describe how altitude sickness is treated, including a reference about how Le Chatelier's Principle leads to the restoration of equilibrium.arrow_forwardAfter your exercise routine at the gym, you sit with friends drinking a glass of water to cool off. Select a single word from list and place into each blank to make it correct.

Under these conditions, hemoglobin 20% is likely to release oxygen. decreases At the same time, the partial pressure of oxygen at the systemic capillaries changes from about to less Carbon dioxide released from the skeletal muscle cells during vigorous exercise can make the blood slightly more acidic. This results in hemoglobin having a affinity. left oxygen saturation or oxygen higher 40% 20 mmHg lower morearrow_forward
