Oxygenation is theprocess of oxygen diffusing passively from the alveolus to the pulmonary capillary, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells or dissolves into the plasma. Insufficient oxygenation is termed hypoxemia. ... Oxygen delivery is the rate of oxygen transport from the lungs to t...
The primary function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. RBCs contain a protein called hemoglobin that actually carries the oxygen. In the capillaries, the oxygen is released to be used by the cells of the body. Ninety-seven percent of the ...
Hemoglobin is one of the essential components of a red blood cell. It is a protein molecule that carries oxygen from the lungs going to various parts of the body. It also returns carbon dioxide from the body tissues going back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is also the one responsible for mainta...
Anemia, also written as anaemia, is the general name for a condition where the body either cannot make enough healthy red blood cells and/or has too little hemoglobin, the substance that enables red blood cells to transport oxygen around the body. ...
Discuss oxygen and carbon dioxide transport Include the hemoglobin's role, and describe any factors that influence this process. Describe the path a molecule of oxygen takes to get to body tissue, starting with the nares. How does the structure of hemogl...

How does hemoglobin transport oxygen? How do macrophages travel throughout the body? How does the integumentary system act as a blood reservoir? What happens during the clotting process of blood? How does the digestive system work with the circulatory system? How is energy produced in the human...
Anemiais a condition involving reduced blood capacity to transport oxygen. This results from either lower than normal levels of red blood cells or a decrease in the quantity or quality of hemoglobin, the protein that allows these cells to transport oxygen. ...
Transport of Oxygen in the Blood:There are two ways that oxygen is transported in the blood: Dissolved in the blood plasma (1.5%); and Bound to hemoglobin (98.5%). Most oxygen is transported by hemoglobin inside the red blood cell. Oxygen is poorly...
