Question

Lucille was finding it difficult to play soccer after school. Her doctor tested her cells and found that they contained low levels of oxygen. When Lucille shared these results with a friend, her friend said there might be a problem with Lucille's respiratory system. What do Lucille's cells need in order for her body to function properly? How might a problem with Lucille's respiratory system lead to low levels of oxygen in her cells? Why does having low levels of oxygen in her cells make it difficult for Lucille to play soccer?

Answer 1

Lucille cells are being affected that is why they do not fulfill the function.

The function of the respiratory cells in the pulmonary alveoli that are known as neucomocytes is being altered, the cause of this alteration can be very versatile, although the most frequent may be the presence of inflammation, edema or inflammatory infiltrate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The low partial pressures of the gas in the blood is an indicator of little gas exchange at the level of the pulmonary alveolus, this may be due to a variation of the gas in the atmosphere, but this option is ruled out since lucille would not be the only one to have the respiratory problem .

On the other hand, it could most likely be a systemic failure such as hypercapnia, or lung inflammation or emphysema. The solution to this is to clinically and radiographically evaluate the girl, send for laboratory tests, and evaluate the administration of glucocorticoids.
