how does hydroxyl affect the respiratory system?
366700
Your question is incomplete.\n\nHydroxyl is a functional group attached with an other positively charged radicle (usually cations). For example if cation is sodium or another alkaline metal it comes to be NaOH or anyother strong base. These bases do not directly affect the resperatory track. \n\nIn some other cases OH is attached with other radicles such as Ca. These groups are often used to treat acidity of stomac.\n\nGenerally there are no bases present in air to affect respiratory track. \n\nCome up with specific group and case.

Multiple reasons.  One it causes blockage in the aveoli, 2.  It paralyzes the cillia(the hairs that sweep your lungs and tubes).  3. It has carbon monoxide which then binds more tightly to your hemeglobin then oxygen.  It causes inflamation in your lungs to take place and closes off aveoli, it also increases mucus production that helps further clog up things since the Cillia that sweep away mucus are then paralyzed.

Is this a test question you have to answer?  Increased oxygen provides the "fuel" for your body to function effectively.  Exercise and increased respiration increase blood circulation, providing more nutrients to reach the cells and more waste to be filtered out.  From these basic processes, many other benefits follow.  I'd have to think harder to give you more details - what are you trying to acheive?

Oxygen bind to hemoglobin which is part of the red blood cells.  It is picked up in the lungs where there are little sacs that have a very thin lining of cells.  Therefore the air you breathe in will be able to reach the blood.  Then the hemoglobin will carry blood to the parts of the body.

The steam relaxes stiff joints and muscles, deeply cleanses your skin, helps eliminate toxins, and boosts your immune system.\n\nSteam Inhalation is an effective treatment in respiratory conditions and is highly recommended for treatment of the common cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, allergies and asthma.\n\nApart from the immune system stimulating effects of sweat therapy, many tout it as one of the most effective and painless detoxifying treatments available.\n\n As pores open and perspiration begins, tone-dulling toxins are naturally expelled, leaving behind more supple, cleaner skin.\n\nSteam treatments have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system. The pulse ate increases from 75 beats per minute to between 100-150 beats per minute during a 15-20 minute treatment. This increase blood circulation, but not blood pressure, since the heat also causes the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand, accommodating the increased blood flow. The dilation of the capillary vessels enables the bloodstream to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, including the increased absorption of the essential oils that are carried in the bloodstream.

first: air is warmed by the rich vascular net in the nasal mucosa. Second, air is humidified by nasal secretions. Third, air is filtrated and some gross particles are captured by the endoturbinates, to prevent tehir entrance into the larynx.\n\nThe accesory muscles expand (internal intercostal)or contract (external interconstal)the thoracic box like a pump. that´s the way they help .\n\nCarbon monoxide is very dangerous because it has several times more affinity with the hem group of hemoglobyn than oxygen. So, in an environment rich in carbon monoxide, when inspirated it binds to hemoglopbyn, displacing oxygen molecules from the Hem group and  preventing them to reach the organs, causing tissue anoxia and sometimes death. Treatment involves oxygen therapy, and sometimes a hyperbaric chamber( a place with high concentrations of oxygen in the air, and at a higher atmospheric pressure).

1. respiratory system, lung - there will be more frequent relaxation and contraction that may be a burden to the lung\n\n2. muscular/muscles, there will be a lactic acid production as a result of strenuous muscular activity (shortage of O2)

Smoking affects the respiratory system by coating the insideof the lungs with nicotine which decreases the ability of the aveoli to move air. That's why smokers don't have very good stamina for sports. \n\nIt affects the circulatory system by constricting blood vessels. This increases the rate that your heart has to work (blood pressure goes up, etc.)

C.  hemoglobin will bind more O2 when pH is increased - meaning less acidic.  This is because, in the lungs, where O2 needs to be bound in order for it to be transported to the tissues, the pH is higher that in the tissues due to a decreased CO2 content. (CO2 acts like an acid in the body).  In the tissues, CO2 content is higher, and O2 is released.

PO2 must drop below 60 mm Hg for stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors. Up to a PO2 of 60 mm Hg, Hemoglobin is still substantially saturated with O2 and adequate amounts of O2 can be delivered to tissues and the brain. Also, when PO2 drops from 100 - 60, usually there is also increased PCO2 levels. So, ventilation is usually increased due to response of central and peripheral chemoreceptors to increasing PCO2 levels.

Well, Every single cell in the body needs oxygen. If hemoglobin is malformed because of a mutation, there will be no cells in the body that can function properly due to the lack of adequate amounts of oxygen being transported to the cells. Since all body systems rely on the cell for functionality, no body system will go unaffected.

The lungs (respiratory system) take in air (using the oxygen and breathing out the carbon dioxide), the heart pumps the oxygen through our arteries (circulatory system)making our blood red.

Dihydrogen monoxide is a major waste product in many combustion processes. Levels in atmosphere may exceed those of carbon dioxide at times, usually meaning nasty conditions.\n\nIn the upper atmosphere, dihydrogen monoxide has a major influence on the reception of sunlight.\n\nIntake of large doses of dihydrogen monoxide via the respiratory apparatus tends to be lethal and needs to be reversed at the earliest possible occasion.\n\nAs badly crystallized solid, the material causes a major hazard to traffic and electricity supply. While there are adventurous uses of the material for risky recreation, often causing avoidable accidents, there are high expenses for removing the material.\n\nBetter crystallized, the material gets even more hazardous for traffic and electricity supply. Chemicals - usually alkali halides - are routinely applied for its removal, causing enviromental troubles.\n\nContact with gaseous dihydrogen monoxide will cause severe burns, as condensation heat is transferred to the skin.\n\n\nThe pure material is mildly corrosive, but will enhance the corrosive effect of other substances.\n\nIt is not flamable, and use of it by firefighters is approved even though usually accompanied by damages to surrounding objects.\n\n\nThere are extremely strict rules for edible dihydrogen monoxide.

With expiration, i.e. breathing out, Carbon Dioxide is expelled from the lungs and with Inspiration, i.e. breathing in, Oxygen is taken into the lungs. So Oxygen level increases and Carbon Diooxide level decreases in the body. The dry mass however, decreases, as it is burnt to produce energy in form of ATP with the help of the oxygen.

Good info Klaus, but you mostly are discussing decompression, in which dissolved gases (usually nitrogen) bubbles out of the blood when going from high to low pressure-Not the reason oxygen is toxic.  The blood requires a certain pressure of oxygen, in other words, and certain number of molecules.  The normal concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is about 21%, which of course is about perfect.  If you are in an environment that has twice the pressure, you require oxygen at half the concentration, or about 10%.  Its still the same number of molecules total, just a lower concentration.  Clearly, if you are in an environment of 10X the pressure compared to sealevel, you only need a concentration of oxygen of about 2%...again, its still the same number of molecules of oxygen, but because of the greater pressure, there is a lot more total gas molecules present.  Oxygen is a highly reactive molecule, and causes (obviously) oxidation...such as rust on iron.  In the body, this is a toxic effect-More to the point, though, is that the body requires a certain amount of carbon dioxide to maintain the proper acid-base balance.  If far too much oxygen is given, it swamps the ability of hemoglobin to bind CO2, thus causing acidosis-the acidification of the blood.  So, the deeper you dive, the lower *percentage8 of oxygen you require (though again, its the same *amount* of oxygen)- the oxygen is replaced by the most inert gas that can be obtained-helium usually.

haha the answer above me is funny...what what exactly do you want to know about it? theres a lot to do with respiration...theres inspiration where the air is taken in..this is caused by a contraction of the diaphragm..thens there structures like the epiglotis, trachea, pharynx...then the oxygen goes to your lungs..where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli's...this is done by some complicated process that i dont understand really..i didnt really pay attention during this part of physiology/biology class. haha. anyway, the oxygen is picked up by the pulmonary artery and goes to the rest of the body through the aorta...uhh, i can think of anything else..hope this helps!

muscular system helps you move.....with out that you couldnt move anywhere......respiratory helps you breath.......circulatory helps the blood move through the body and other fluids get where they are going
