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 !!!

Describe the path blood follows through the pulmonary circulation loop.
ivanzaharov [21]
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart, where it enters the right atrium through the <span>superior and inferior vena cava. It then goes to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve, after which it is pumped to the pulmonary artery through the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve splits in two and is connected to the lungs, where the blood is pushed through capillaries in the lungs and is oxygenated and drops CO2. It then goes into the pulmonary vein and goes into the left atrium of the heart, after which it enters the left atrium, then goes through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, where it is pumped into the aorta through the aortic valve and distributed throughout the body, becoming deoxygenated and completing the cycle.</span>
