Oxygen is the most important element for living beings because it sustains life on the planet earth. It is said that 90 per cent of our biochemical and metabolic activities need oxygen. When we breathe, we take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Oxygen is taken from lungs through hemoglobin and travels to every cell in the body. It is also highly advised that we breathe through the nose as it has structures that clean and filter the air before it reaches your lungs. Adequate level of oxygen is required for living a life full of energy.  In case there is a fall in oxygen level one can use oxygen cylinders for raising the level.

Hypoxia

From nose and mouth the air enters your body. Windpipe is the 2nd organ that delivers the air into your lungs. Lungs also constitute an important organ that helps in absorption of oxygen in the blood stream. Oxygen is transported from lungs to all parts of the body. Diaphragm is the fourth organ which is important for distribution of oxygen throughout the human body.  On reaching lungs the air moves into tubes called bronchi and, then, into smaller, branching tubes called bronchioles, which push air into small air sacs into air sacs known as alveoli, where oxygen is extracted from the air and then directed into tiny blood vessels called capillaries. This is how oxygen reaches every cell of your body.

Hypoxemia

Oxygen reaches your lungs after breathing and then travels throughout your body and reaches every cell in the body. Oxygen is vital for oxidizing food for releasing energy and heat which is required for performing daily tasks of life. It is estimated that oxygen constitutes around 65% of your body mass and is responsible for regulating most of the body functions. If someone is not receiving sufficient amount oxygen, there is nothing to worry, one can opt for breathing supplemental oxygen through oxygen cylinder.
