Oxygen consumption

Oxygen consumption

The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen stpd used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

or it may meanes the number of milligrams of oxygen needed for each kg

Question about neuron oxygen consumption

... who is trying to model some neurons in microfluidic devices. I have searched web of science - with minimal luck. I am trying to find how much oxygen a human neuron would consume, along with what factors would cause that to vary (and by how much). I am very new to biology, and am learning as ...

Comparing Cellular Respiration & Fermentation

... it can't be d, so it can be both a and b lol. It is true that you need oxygen to eventually oxidize the lactic acid, but that doesn't mean you have to breathe heavily. Breathing heavily reflects a rate of oxygen consumption, getting rid of lactic acid is a "amount" question--i.e. ...
