How Coronavirus Attacks the Body from the New York Times
Remember our studies from IC3 that the body needs oxygen in order to be able to do a chemical reaction called Cellular Respiration (Glucose + Oxygen -> Water + CO2) so that we can use the food we eat for energy to do all the things our body does? We studied the anatomy involved in the air coming in through our nose and mouth to our lungs, passing through the alveoli to the red blood cells in our capillaries and traveling out through the circulatory system to our body’s cells. That background information will help you understand the science of Coronavirus infections discussed in the video linked above.
