The lowest concentration of oxygen in the body is in the venous blood returning to the heart. This blood has delivered oxygen to tissues and organs and is now returning to the heart to pick up more oxygen in the lungs through respiration.
The direction of diffusion for carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs and tissues is determined by their respective concentration gradients. In the lungs, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli where its concentration is lower, while oxygen diffuses into the blood from the alveoli where its concentration is higher. In the tissues, oxygen diffuses from the blood into the cells where its concentration is lower, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the blood where its concentration is higher.
Yes, blood pressure is highest in the aorta due to the force generated by the heart during systole. It progressively decreases as blood moves through the arterial system, reaching its lowest point in the capillaries where exchange of nutrients and gases occurs.
The medical term for excessive waste in the blood is uremia. This condition occurs when the kidneys are unable to properly filter waste products from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins in the body. Symptoms may include fatigue, nausea, and swelling.
Embryos do not excrete nitrogenous wastes into the environment but rather rely on the mother's body to remove these wastes through the placenta. The mother's kidneys process the nitrogenous wastes from the embryo's blood and excrete them into her own bloodstream for elimination.
Blood has the lowest concentration of oxygen in the veins returning to the heart, particularly in the systemic veins which carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from body tissues.
When a person loses blood plasma, a rise in cellular concentration as well as protein concentration occurs. This is hemoconcentration when this occurs.
Kidneys filter nitrogenous waste from the blood.

Hemoconcentration occurs when there is an increase in the concentration of blood cells as the result of the loss of plasma from the bloodstream. A decrease in volume of plasma and an increase in red blood circulating.
The lowest concentration of oxygen in the body is in the venous blood returning to the heart. This blood has delivered oxygen to tissues and organs and is now returning to the heart to pick up more oxygen in the lungs through respiration.

Diastole is the term meaning the period of ventricular relaxation with the lowest blood pressure. The diastolic number is the second or bottom number in the blood pressure reading, and it is always the lowest.
At the level of the capillaries, oxygen will diffuse out of the saturated red blood cells down their concentration gradient into the tissues where their concentration is lowest.
Exchange of both oxygen and carbon dioxide through the respiratory membrane occurs by diffusion. Oxygen moves from an area of high concentration in the alveoli to an area of low concentration in the blood, while carbon dioxide moves from high concentration in the blood to low concentration in the alveoli.
Azotemia or uremia means high blood levels of nitrogenous waste.
Oxygen diffuses from air into blood through the process of simple diffusion. This occurs in the lungs where oxygen moves from areas of high concentration in the alveoli to areas of lower concentration in the blood capillaries. The concentration gradient allows oxygen to pass through the alveolar walls and enter the blood.
