A patient has low blood oygen levels, although the patient's blood is circulating properly. which is most likely functioning improperly

1 answer

If a patient has low blood oxygen levels despite proper blood circulation, the most likely system functioning improperly would be the respiratory system. The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood. If there is a problem with the lungs or the airways, it can impede the intake of sufficient oxygen, leading to low blood oxygen levels.
