Question

(3.3.b) bleeding: quiz
severe bleeding is life threatening because --
○ body wastes become over concentrated and toxic in the remaining blood.
○ too little oxygen is carried to the vital organs.
○ the body overheats because too little blood is available for cooling.
○ cells die when they are not constantly supplied with sugars.

Severe bleeding leads to significant blood loss. Blood is responsible for transporting oxygen to vital organs. When there is severe blood - loss, the amount of oxygen - carrying red blood cells decreases, resulting in too little oxygen being carried to vital organs, which can be life - threatening.

Answer:

Too little oxygen is carried to the vital organs.
