    Please don't smoke. Look how much effort your body is putting into taking care of you! Why would you sabotage it by replacing the oxygen with carbon monoxide?

      The major harm from smoking is due to the smoke particles coating the inner surface of the lungs, which not only impairs gas exchange but damages them and sometimes causes their cells to become cancerous. Compared to that regular carbon monoxide exposure is a minor problem that the body corrrects for by producing more red blood cells.

      @@astridsstudii A Christian would tell you to look into Christianity to appreciate what his god has done. Religions have nothing but claims which can't be distinguished between themselves due to lack of evidence. How different is the Christian god from Allah, Zeus, or Vishnu? All of them are empty claims. Most people believe in them because it's what their parents taught them from childhood. Evolution, on the other hand, has biological evidence. Our embryos look the same as an animal's, we share 99% of our DNA with apes, we have the same organ placement as theirs, which means we have a common ancestor, and there is fossil evidence, too. We share the same genetic material with other plants and animals due to all living beings having the same common ancestor, our DNA with bananas is 60% the same. Dodo birds adapted and lost their ability to fly due to lack of natural predators on their island. If you deny the evidence and still believe in baseless claims, it would be the definiton of delusion.

    I did three really important things for my lungs and oxygen delivery for disease prevention and overall wellness:
    - I stopped chronically breathing through my mouth...big no-no. The mouth is NOT for breathing! The nose is on the front line of our immune system plus nitric oxide opens up airways and blood vessels
    - I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser for inhalation and exhalation breathing therapy. No more asthma.
    - and I sleep with a small piece of tape over my lips to keep my mouth closed during sleep...stops snoring, apnea, dry mouth and more
    My chronic fatigue and asthma both are gone now and my outlook on life is exceptional because I’m sleeping better and have more energy. I’m 54.

      Of course you can't stop it right away, especially of you've been smoking for months or years, but there are working ways to do it:
      trying to gradually lower the amount of smoke everyday, getting a electronic cigarette...
      You may consider to speak with a specialist to know what's the best for you :)

    A small but very important part of our respiratory system has been missed out here...but I can help. Air is also supposed to pass through our nasal sinuses. Many people have sinus problems and this has an alarming knock-on effect. You see...by concentrating on this area which fails because cerebrospinal fluid doesn't reach them we don't breathe into the highest part of the bronchial tubes and this means that the highest part of our chest isn't oxygenated and besides naturally correcting this poor breathing it also seems to massage the aortic arch, especially during sleep, giving it a helping hand to pump aerated blood to the highest levels of our body. Its early days yet but it is most encouraging.

    TRANSCRIPT
    You breathe in about 17,000 times per day. But behind the scenes, a huge coordinated effort is playing out. The vital organs, the gut, brain, bones, lungs, blood and heart work together to sustain life by delivering oxygen to tissues throughout the body. Most of the cells need oxygen because its one of the key ingredients of aerobic respiration. That’s the process that produces a molecule called ATP, which the cells use to power their many incredible functions. But getting oxygen throughout the body is a surprisingly difficult task. Gas enters cells by diffusing in from their surroundings. And that only happens efficiently over tiny distances. So, for oxygen to reach the cell within the bodies, it needs a transportation network. This is where our 20 trillion red blood cells com in. Each one contains about 270 million oxygen-binding molecules of haemoglobin, which is what gives blood its scarlet hue. To make these cells, the body uses raw materials that become available from the food we eat. So, in some ways, you could say that oxygen’s journey through the body really begins in the gut. Here, in an amazing display of mechanical and chemical digestion, food gets broken down into its smallest elements like iron, the building block of haemoglobin. Iron is carried through the cardiovascular system to the body’s hematopoietic tissue. This tissue is the birthplace of red blood cells, and it can be found enclosed within our bone marrow cavities. The kidneys regulate our levels of red blood cells through the release of erythropoietin, a hormone which cause marrow to increase production. Our bodies churn out roughly 2.5 million red blood cells per second, a number equivalent to the entire population of Paris, so that oxygen that makes it to the lungs will have ample transportation. But before oxygen can even reach the lungs, the brain need to get involved. The brainstem initiated breathing by sending a message through your nervous system, all the way to muscles of the diaphragm and ribs. This causes them to contract, thus increasing the space inside the rib cage, which allows the lungs to expand. That expansion drops your lungs internal air pressure, making air rush in. Its tempting to think of our lungs as two big balloons, but they’re actually a lot more complicated than that. Here’s why. The red blood cells in the vessels within your lungs can only pick up oxygen molecules that are very close to them. If our lungs were shaped like balloons, air that was not in direct contact with the balloon’s inner surface couldn’t diffuse through. Luckily, our lungs architecture ensures that very little oxygen is wasted. Their interior is divided into hundreds of millions of miniatures balloon-like projections called alveoli that dramatically increase the contact area to somewhere around 100 square meters. The alveolar walls are made of extremely thin flat cells that are surrounded by capillaries. Together, the alveolar wall and capillaries make a two-cell thick membrane that brings blood and oxygen close enough for diffusion. These oxygen-enriched cells are than carried from the lungs through the cardiovascular network, a massive collection of blood vessel that reaches every cell in the body. If we laid this system out end to end in a straight line, the vessels would wrap around the Earth several times. Propelling red blood cells through this extensive network requires a pretty powerful pump, and that’s where your heart comes in. The human heart pumps an average of 100,000 times per day, and it’s the powerhouse that ultimately gets oxygen where it needs to go, completing the body’s team effort. Just think - this entire complex system is built around the delivery of tiny molecules of oxygen. If just one part malfunctioned, so would we. Breathe in. Your gut, brain, bones, lungs, blood and heart are continuing their incredible act of coordination that keeps you alive. Breathe out.

      Victoria S the oxygen is taken up by reacting with the hemoglobin. The rest of air is basically nitrogen and a very small amount of CO2. While a very small amount of oxygen and nitrogen are dissolved in the liquid part of the arterial blood, it's hemoglobin we have to thank for the vast majority of blood oxygen.

    • @subhash2428
      @subhash2428 7 років тому +2

      Victoria S its all about pressure difference and efficiency of haemoglobin to bind with element
      so at high altitude we get less oxygen to our body even though there is lot of oxygen in total
