Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. Explain how this

Biology
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Carbon Monoxide is a very harmful and toxic gas which is formed from incomplete combustion of carbon.

Explanation: red blood cells contain haemoglobin ,which are responsible for carrying oxygen into our body system. So oxygen combines with haemagoblin to form oxyhaemogoblin in the red blood cells .

so if a person starts to intake cigarettes which contain high amounts of carbon monoxide ,it reduces oxyhaemogoblin formation because it binds very tightly to the haemogoblin .then carboxyhaemogoblin is formed and its permanent so causing reduction in aerobic respiration, and reduction in oxygen transport and causing damages to heart muscles.

Hope this helps if you need any more explanation feel free to comment in the comment section below !!!

When health care teams solve problems, it is important that in the final stage, all team members _____. Have a say in the goals
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''understand their roles''

Explanation:

Teamwork in a health team is considered important as a way of dividing responsibilities, correctly attending to the roles in a work team and the functions of the figures that intervene in the teamwork in order to achieve recovery the health of the patient more quickly. Each of the health professionals in this group or team must have a role to fulfill the desired objective; the team is a group of individuals who cooperate to perform a particular routine activity; there is a link of reciprocal dependency that unites the members of the same team with the others. This vision is justified, for each professional to have a different perception of the situation, it is the “union” of the different perceptions that facilitates the understanding of the whole, allowing a glimpse of the patient as a whole. Usually, the general doctor assumes the role of knowing the patient in depth, in order to be able to guide on health problems and decide together with him or her the treatments and objectives to be achieved.

When animals undergo the process of cellular respiration, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And when animals die and start to decay aided by organisms called decomposers, carbon dioxide is also emitted into the atmosphere. When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide yet again enters the atmosphere.
