Oxygenated blood is carried through the body by arteries. There is one exception though - the pulmonary artery carries de-oxygenated blood to the lungs; the pulmonary vein returns to the heart carrying oxygenated blood.

What do you call hemoglobin in the urine?
Hemoglobin is a molecule that is bound to a red blood cell and it helps with the transportation of carbon dioxide and oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin in the urine is called hemoglobinuria.
Amount of oxygen that is bound to hemoglobin is called?
oxyhemoglobin
Does hemoglobin have proteins?
Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein. Hemoglobin contains a hemo prosthetic group that has an iron atom at its center. When the iron is bound to oxygen, the hemo group is red in color (oxyhemogoblin), and when it lacks oxygen (deoxygenated form) it is blue-red.
Which mineral allows red blood cells to carry oxygen?
It is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and iron to the tissues.
What is the biological term of oxygen carrying pigment found in red blood corpuscles?
heomoglobin..... a comlex compound of proteins with iron......
What is the blood oxygen that is bound to the hemoglobin called?
red
What is bound to the hemoglobin in red blood cells?
Oxygen,
What is oxy-hemoglobin?
It is hemoglobin that carries oxygen
Most carbon dioxide in the blood is carried bound to hemoglobin?
No, Unlike oxygen, Carbon Dioxide is mostly disolved in the blood plasma only about 23% is disolved in hemoglobin
Oxygen is carried largely bound to the blank of red blood cells?
Hemoglobin -NovaNet-
Most of the oxygen in the blood is transported?
Oxygen molecules are bound to the red pigment HEMOGLOBIN, a protein complex found exclusively in red blood cells. A very small amount of oxygen is also dissolved in the liquid portion of blood, but hemoglobin carries the bulk of oxygen.
Why is human blood red?
Because of the presence of hemoglobin in our blood.Human blood is red only when it is oxygenated, meaning oxygen molecules have bound to hemoglobin in the red blood cells after the blood passed through lung tissues. Blood where no oxygen is bound to the hemoglobin will be blue in color.Inside the body, blood leaving the lungs is bright red because it is freshly oxygenated. Blood returning from various parts of the body to the lungs will be blue because it is is devoid of oxygen.Blood from a cut or wound is always red because oxygen in the air binds with the hemoglobin.
What is the oxygen in the blood transported by?
Oxygen in the blood is transported by hemoglobin.
In what form is o2 carried in blood?
Oxygen is bound to a protein (a respiratory pigment), called hemoglobin.
What does hemoglobin bind oxygen with when it reaches the arteries?
Oxygen is bound to the haemoglobin in the blood in the lung tissues, then this oxygenated blood is returned to the heart for distribution via the arteries.
What do you call hemoglobin in the urine?
Hemoglobin is a molecule that is bound to a red blood cell and it helps with the transportation of carbon dioxide and oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin in the urine is called hemoglobinuria.
When oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
A protein called hemoglobin present in red blood cells is able to bind oxygen molecules. Capillaries surround the alveolar sacs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood where it is bound by hemoglobin. Now, the oxygen is in the blood.
