What does the hemoglobin in red blood cells release as blood travels through the capillaries?
As red blood cells travel through capillaries oxygen is released (disassociated) with hemoglobin. The oxygen then diffuses down it's concentration gradient into the tissues.
What happens to the blood as it passes through the pulmonary capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
How does circulate in the body?
Oxygen circulates through the body in blood. A molecule of oxygen (O2) from the lungs binds loosely to a molecule of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. The red blood cell travels through the capillaries and the oxygen molecule is released from the hemoglobin and is delivered to the cells.
What carries oxygen in the blood?
Arteries, capillaries, and veins carry oxygen in the blood.
How does oxygen circulate in the body?

Why does blood move faster through your capillaries?
Blood does not move faster through the capillaries. Blood flow is slowest in the capillaries.
How does hemoglobin carry 02 in the blood?
It attaches itself to red blood cells(erythrocytes). Hemoglobin is what transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
What percentage of the blood's hemoglobin has united with oxygen by the time the blood leaves the lung capillaries to return to the heart?
97%
What is the last heart chamber that blood leaves through before moving toward capillaries in the arm?
left ventricle
How does the oxygen you inhale get to all of your blood cells?
It enters the bloodstream through the capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen is then transported by the blood to all of the body cells by a protein in the red blood cells called hemoglobin that binds oxygen with a capacity of 1.34 mL O2 per gram of hemoglobin.
What is the role of red blood cell?
Red blood cells are highly specialized for oxygen transport. They lack a nucleus and instead, contain many copies of hemoglobin. Red Blood cells move single file through the capillaries
What substances carry in blood?
Red blood cells in blood carry oxygen throughout the body. The actual chemical substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin also carries carbon-dioxide when passed through capillarys, the part where the carbon dioxide is exchanged with the oxygen. capillaries are a cell thick for the lower blood presure.
