Medical - Respirocyte

Definition: An artificial mechanical red cell that revolves around the blood

Measurements:
Measures one micron in diameter.

Shape:
Spherical

What does it contain?
18 billion atoms inside the sphere

What kinds of atoms are inside?
Oxygen and carbon atoms

Faces:
Most of them carbon dioxide atoms

Description:
like a “mini tank” which will be able to load and unload gases

Sensors:
Gas sensors, sensors task will be to read the gas pressure and from there determine what to do.

Caution:
Might be flammable!
To be safe a flameproof-coated material will be applied.

What will the gases do?
They will disperse reasonably.

Directions
Near the lung capillaries oxygen gas pressure is high
Carbon dioxide gas pressure is low
For example: If the respirocyte were to be near the lung capillaries the reaction of it would be to load oxygen gas and unload carbon dioxide
Near the Oxygen-starved peripheral tissues, the carbon dioxide gas pressure is high being oxygen gas low the opposite will apply

Directed by
The respirocyte will have pressure sensors that will receive instructions from doctors
Doctors will use ultrasound-like transmitters to give command and modify their behavior

Possible happenings
Adding one liter of respirocyte to the bloodstream might in able you to hold your breath under water for nearly four-hours without any movement
If you were sprinting, you would be able to run for at least fifteen minutes more before breathing (Rober A.Frietas Jr.)
