How does respiratory failure affect the muscular system?

Muscles do not get oxygen.

Fluid builds in the lungs.

Carbon dioxide builds in the blood.

Nutrients cannot be delivered to the muscles

A) Muscles do not get oxygen.

The correct answer is Carbon dioxide builds in the blood.

Explanation:

When we breathe, what happens is that oxygen is ingested and carbon dioxide is expelled, which is harmful to the blood.

The blood works in a healthy way with 95% to 100% oxygen.

When there is a respiratory failure, there is a possibility that this process does not happen, and that carbon dioxide enters the blood, which could cause a failure in the heart and brain, as well as the rest of the organs.

Remember that carbon dioxide is a toxic waste, so ingesting it could cause a lot of damage to our body.

In this way we can say that the correct answer is Carbon dioxide builds in the blood.
