Question

Blood analysis of a patient reveals unusual high quantity of carboxyhemoglobin

Answer 1

Answer:

The patient has inhaled polluted air containing a high content of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide combines more readily with hemoglobin than oxygen. It forms a stable compound, carboxyhemoglobin, which reduces the amount of free hemoglobin available for carrying oxygen and starves the tissues of oxygen. Deficiency of oxygen causes headache, dizziness, nausea, paralysis and even death.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\purple{Answer}$

Blood analysis of a patient reveals unusual high quantity of carboxyhemoglobin . This means that the person was under prolonged exposure of carbon monoxide .

Carboxyhemoglobin is a stable compound of carbon monoxide and haemoglobin . This is a dangerous compound as it is much stable than oxygen-haemoglobin complex and hinders the efficiency of oxygen transport .
