Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen-rich blood separate from oxygen poor blood?

Biology
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]3 years ago
8 0

The answer to your question is,

if the oxygen poor blood mixes back with oxygen rich blood, that means that oxygen poor blood is not going back to the lungs to swap CO2 (carbon dioxide) with O2 (oxygen), and this swapping is vital to tissue survival, since oxygen is what keeps your tissues, muscles, and organs alive. so if this blood mixed, ultimately your organs are not receiving enough oxygen and will become starved of it, this can kill you and lots of people every year get heart surgery because their atrium or ventricles in their heart rupture

SCIENTIFIC definition of the word "property" in your own words
blondinia [14]

Answer:

I believe the scientific property referes to the composition, on an atomic level, of an element or compound. It's property(ies) are what constitutes the element in an isolated state, but also how it reacts to changes in environment: (temperature, humidity, etc..); but also how it reacts to other elements. What changes occur and if it has the potential to change it's molecular "structure".
