What are the oxygen supply devices

Domestic application of universal central oxygen poplar its generating device includes gas manifold, oxygen cylinders and oxygen generators in three, gas manifold, mainly used in small and medium-sized hospitals with relatively low demand for medical institutions, while oxygen cylinders are mainly used in large hospitals. Oxygen generators are more costly but later used at low cost and are now used in many hospitals. The gas piping is usually made of brass, and it ranges in diameter from Φ8, Φ35. generally each floor is equipped with a pressure reducer (which functions as both a pressure reducer and a valve to stop the flow of gas). The central oxygen nurses' station is equipped with a medical gas alarm system, which is connected to the pressure reducer by a wire.

Oxygen is important for our energy and health. Unless the body receives enough oxygen, symptoms such as fatigue, hyperventilation and fainting, and in extreme cases even death, can occur.

The Role of Oxygen

Any change in the concentration of oxygen affects the way the body breathes. Oxygen requirements vary from person to person and are completely dependent on the body adjusting and compensating for low oxygen. Oxygen is an indispensable element for human survival due to its use as energy. Cells in the body require oxygen to survive.

Respiratory System

The process of respiration involves the inhalation and expulsion of air. Air enters the lungs when the chest muscles expand. The muscles then contract to force the air out. This is a concise but necessary process to move oxygen through the body. Air enters the lungs through the trachea and then oxygen is carried to the heart by hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Eventually, carbon dioxide is returned to the lungs and exhaled out of the body.

Circulation

Air travels through the thin bronchial tubes to reach microscopic air sacs called alveoli. Here, small blood vessels carry blood through these alveoli and replace it with fresh oxygen. Capillaries carry this oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left ventricle of the heart, where it is then pumped through arteries to all parts of the body.

Cells receive oxygen from the blood and get rid of waste products such as carbon dioxide, which are then transported through veins to the right ventricle. Here the blood contains very little oxygen and is mostly waste junk. The blood is pumped back to the lungs, where the waste products are then sent through the capillaries into the alveoli. At this point the carbon dioxide is then expelled from the body through exhalation.

Cellular Processes

Cellular processes require oxygen to burn calories obtained from food. This process is used to convert food into energy on the opposite principle of photosynthesis, which is used by plants to convert energy into sugar. A cyclic sequence called the citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle) drives this step within the cell. The process stores energy in cells called adenosine triphosphates, requires the use of oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water.
