Question

Inhaling carbon monoxide reduces the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. This can lead to brain damage. Which three systems of the body interact in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The three systems that interact with each other in carbon monoxide absorption are: circulatory system, nervous system, and respiratory system.

Explanation:

  By inhaling carbon monoxide, this gas automatically sticks to hemoblobin, which is located in the blood. Sticking to it, it is never removed. This ends up causing an "extra weight" that hemoglobin needs to carry, as if it were a person carrying excess luggage during a long walk. But the difference is that this "excess" will never be detached from the person.

  This activity ends up impairing the transport of oxygen throughout the person's body. This non-distribution of oxygen causes many harm to the person and can lead to death. Oxygen ends up not reaching the body parts that need it most, such as the brain, heart, body cells, lungs, etc. When oxygen isn't carrying to the brain, it can lead to brain several damages, and people must lose consciousness, pass out to die without even realizing what had happened to her.

Answer 2

Inhaling carbon monoxide reduces the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. This can lead to brain damage. The respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems interact in this situation.
