what is the main ways oxygen consumed and carbondioxide is produced
Answers
Answer:
The metabolic production of carbon dioxide and consumption of oxygen reflect fundamental functions of the tissues. In the intensive care setting, carbon dioxide production (VCO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2) can be monitored from the respiratory gases When the body pool of CO2 and O2 are in a steady state, the VCO2 and VO2 measured from the respiratory gases represent the metabolic processes. VCO2 and VO2 are often considered merely as metabolic variables, and their monitoring by gas exchange measurements was originally introduced to intensive care as “metabolic monitoring”. The potential applications of gas exchange monitoring in intensive care are much broader. VCO2-monitoring can be used to monitor alveolar ventilation , the efficiency of CO2-removal (dead space to tidal volume ratio) and changes in ventilatory demand and their etiology . VO2-monitoring can provide information on the adequacy of circulation or oxygen transport, especially when combined with mixed venous oximetry , and it can be used to evaluate the causes of arterial hypoxemia. In addition, gas exchange monitoring is useful in estimating the nutritional requirements and response to nutrition support in patients requiring prolonged intensive care . Of all the potential applications of gas exchange monitoring, ventilation and oxygen transport related problems are probably the most frequent circumstances, where gas exchange monitoring can provide clinically relevant information.
Answer:
O2 is mainly produced by photosynthesis
other main source of O2 is ozone cycle.
CO2 is mainly released by respiration , fermentation , and combustion in presence of O2.
