Oxygen’s surprisingly complex journey through your body - Enda Butler

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/oxygen-s-su...
Oxygen forms about 21% of the air around us. In your body, oxygen forms a vital role in the production of energy in most cells. But if gases can only efficiently diffuse across tiny distances, how does oxygen reach the cells deep inside your body? Enda Butler tracks the surprisingly complex journey of oxygen through your body.
Lesson by Enda Butler, animation by Compote Collective.

    The major harm from smoking is due to the smoke particles coating the inner surface of the lungs, which not only impairs gas exchange but damages them and sometimes causes their cells to become cancerous. Compared to that regular carbon monoxide exposure is a minor problem that the body corrrects for by producing more red blood cells.

    @@astridsstudii A Christian would tell you to look into Christianity to appreciate what his god has done. Religions have nothing but claims which can't be distinguished between themselves due to lack of evidence. How different is the Christian god from Allah, Zeus, or Vishnu? All of them are empty claims. Most people believe in them because it's what their parents taught them from childhood. Evolution, on the other hand, has biological evidence. Our embryos look the same as an animal's, we share 99% of our DNA with apes, we have the same organ placement as theirs, which means we have a common ancestor, and there is fossil evidence, too. We share the same genetic material with other plants and animals due to all living beings having the same common ancestor, our DNA with bananas is 60% the same. Dodo birds adapted and lost their ability to fly due to lack of natural predators on their island. If you deny the evidence and still believe in baseless claims, it would be the definiton of delusion.

Quitting smoking wouldn't only result in a benefit for your longues and your body in general, but it would change your life in a positive way (like social relationships, money) Of course you can't stop it right away, especially of you've been smoking for months or years, but there are working ways to do it: trying to gradually lower the amount of smoke everyday, getting a electronic cigarette... You may consider to speak with a specialist to know what's the best for you :)

    I did three really important things for my lungs and oxygen delivery for disease prevention and overall wellness: - I stopped chronically breathing through my mouth...big no-no. The mouth is NOT for breathing! The nose is on the front line of our immune system plus nitric oxide opens up airways and blood vessels - I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser for inhalation and exhalation breathing therapy. No more asthma. - and I sleep with a small piece of tape over my lips to keep my mouth closed during sleep...stops snoring, apnea, dry mouth and more My chronic fatigue and asthma both are gone now and my outlook on life is exceptional because I’m sleeping better and have more energy.

    A small but very important part of our respiratory system has been missed out here...but I can help. Air is also supposed to pass through our nasal sinuses. Many people have sinus problems and this has an alarming knock-on effect. You see...by concentrating on this area which fails because cerebrospinal fluid doesn't reach them we don't breathe into the highest part of the bronchial tubes and this means that the highest part of our chest isn't oxygenated and besides naturally correcting this poor breathing it also seems to massage the aortic arch, especially during sleep, giving it a helping hand to pump aerated blood to the highest levels of our body. Its early days yet but it is most encouraging.

    +yehya Sorry, but in biology we learned that the CO2 is a result of your body breaking down glucose molecules, releasing CO2. Both the oxygen and the carbon come from the glucose/ food that you consumed. The oxygen you breathe in is only used in the mitochondria for aerobic respiration, which utilized the ETC to produce more ATP. The oxygen you breath in reduced into water. It never becomes carbon dioxide. on another note, combustion does not occur in cells. if such a reaction were to happen in an organism, the cells would die due to the extreme temperatures.

    Please don't listen to the fool who got information from Wikipedia (Wikipedia! Are you kidding me?) and didn't bother to read it any ways. Cell respiration is NOT combustion, although it does produce minimal heat. The body breaks down food and other nutrients into molecules. One of the molecules is called glucose. Glucose has 6 Carbon, 13 Hydrogen, and 6 Oxygen. When combined with more 6 more Oxygen, the end product is 6 Carbon Dioxide, 6 water, and heat as WASTE. This heat is not regarded as combustion because the reaction is slow and does not perform the reaction.

    the body breaks down glucose with cellular respiration, correct. And cellular respiration is not combustion. Such temperatures would destroy the cell, and the cell would never be able capture energy. Here is a step by step walk through for you. 1. Glycolysis, breaking down glucose through ten steps of hydrolysis and enzymes. Converts Glucose to an isomer to two 3 carbon compounds to two pyruvate molecules. 2. two pyruvate molecules are sent into the mitochondria's matrix, where the krebs cycle combines pyruvate into citric acid, then breaks it down slowly. The mitochondria can store this energy of the molecules breaking down in ATP, NADH, and FADH2. 3. NADH and FADH2 are transported to the ETC and used to create a proton gradient in the inter membrane space, which then uses the gradient to create ATP using ATP synthase. That is a step by step process of how your cell turns Glucose into energy. Your cells do not light glucose molecules on fire to obtain energy.

    Victoria S the oxygen is taken up by reacting with the hemoglobin. The rest of air is basically nitrogen and a very small amount of CO2. While a very small amount of oxygen and nitrogen are dissolved in the liquid part of the arterial blood, it's hemoglobin we have to thank for the vast majority of blood oxygen.

    TRANSCRIPT You breathe in about 17,000 times per day. But behind the scenes, a huge coordinated effort is playing out. The vital organs, the gut, brain, bones, lungs, blood and heart work together to sustain life by delivering oxygen to tissues throughout the body. Most of the cells need oxygen because its one of the key ingredients of aerobic respiration. That’s the process that produces a molecule called ATP, which the cells use to power their many incredible functions. But getting oxygen throughout the body is a surprisingly difficult task. Gas enters cells by diffusing in from their surroundings. And that only happens efficiently over tiny distances. So, for oxygen to reach the cell within the bodies, it needs a transportation network. This is where our 20 trillion red blood cells com in. Each one contains about 270 million oxygen-binding molecules of haemoglobin, which is what gives blood its scarlet hue. To make these cells, the body uses raw materials that become available from the food we eat. So, in some ways, you could say that oxygen’s journey through the body really begins in the gut. Here, in an amazing display of mechanical and chemical digestion, food gets broken down into its smallest elements like iron, the building block of haemoglobin. Iron is carried through the cardiovascular system to the body’s hematopoietic tissue. This tissue is the birthplace of red blood cells, and it can be found enclosed within our bone marrow cavities. The kidneys regulate our levels of red blood cells through the release of erythropoietin, a hormone which cause marrow to increase production. Our bodies churn out roughly 2.5 million red blood cells per second, a number equivalent to the entire population of Paris, so that oxygen that makes it to the lungs will have ample transportation. But before oxygen can even reach the lungs, the brain need to get involved. The brainstem initiated breathing by sending a message through your nervous system, all the way to muscles of the diaphragm and ribs. This causes them to contract, thus increasing the space inside the rib cage, which allows the lungs to expand. That expansion drops your lungs internal air pressure, making air rush in. Its tempting to think of our lungs as two big balloons, but they’re actually a lot more complicated than that. Here’s why. The red blood cells in the vessels within your lungs can only pick up oxygen molecules that are very close to them. If our lungs were shaped like balloons, air that was not in direct contact with the balloon’s inner surface couldn’t diffuse through. Luckily, our lungs architecture ensures that very little oxygen is wasted. Their interior is divided into hundreds of millions of miniatures balloon-like projections called alveoli that dramatically increase the contact area to somewhere around 100 square meters. The alveolar walls are made of extremely thin flat cells that are surrounded by capillaries. Together, the alveolar wall and capillaries make a two-cell thick membrane that brings blood and oxygen close enough for diffusion. These oxygen-enriched cells are than carried from the lungs through the cardiovascular network, a massive collection of blood vessel that reaches every cell in the body. If we laid this system out end to end in a straight line, the vessels would wrap around the Earth several times. Propelling red blood cells through this extensive network requires a pretty powerful pump, and that’s where your heart comes in. The human heart pumps an average of 100,000 times per day, and it’s the powerhouse that ultimately gets oxygen where it needs to go, completing the body’s team effort. Just think - this entire complex system is built around the delivery of tiny molecules of oxygen. If just one part malfunctioned, so would we. Breathe in. Your gut, brain, bones, lungs, blood and heart are continuing their incredible act of coordination that keeps you alive. Breathe out.
