Question

15 cyanosis occurs when the blood concentration of ____________ is abnormally high multiple choice carbon dioxide oxyhemoglobin oxygen deoxyhemoglobin

Explanation:

Cyanosis is a bluish - discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes. It occurs when there is an increased amount of deoxyhemoglobin (unoxygenated hemoglobin) in the blood. Deoxyhemoglobin has a different color compared to oxyhemoglobin (oxygen - bound hemoglobin), and when its concentration is high enough, it gives the tissues a bluish appearance. Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and oxyhemoglobin are not directly related to the development of cyanosis in terms of high concentrations causing the condition.

Answer:

D. deoxyhemoglobin
