Myocardial Infarction

Question 16 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

What does the body do to compensate when not enough oxygen is getting to tissues?

Answer
A
flushes the face
B
increases breathing rate
C
sends more blood to the extremities
D
has a coronary bypass

Explanation

When tissues are not receiving enough oxygen, the body compensates by breathing faster to bring more oxygen into the lungs and blood. The correct choice is “increases breathing rate.” Flushing the face, sending more blood to the extremities, and having a coronary bypass do not directly restore oxygen supply in this way.
