The main function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen to tissues from the lungs and carbon dioxide out from the tissues to the lungs to breathed out of the body
Blood flows in a circle from lungs to tissues and back. At the lungs O2 gets into the blood and CO2 gets out - at the tissues O2 leaves the blood and CO2 enters.
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the bodies tissues, and carries carbon dioxide from the bodies tissues to the lungs.
the blood absorb oxygen in the lungs(cappilaries)
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
Oxygen goes from the lungs to the tissues via the blood stream and CO2 goes back to the lungs via the blood stream
The primary role of hemoglobin is to carry oxygen. This molecule is transported from the lungs to the tissues that need it.
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
Gas is carried mostly by the plasma in the blood. The plasma contains dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are transported to different parts of the body. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the tissues, while carbon dioxide is carried from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination.
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
They are transported to an oxygen rich environment, the lungs. It is there that they pick up their oxygen.
Inside the red blood cells, the iron has a great affinity for oxygen. It moves by passive diffusion from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream where it binds to the iron groups in the haemoglobin in the red blood cells.
O2 and Co2 are transported throughout human body by blood. 97% of O2 combines with haemoglobin of RBCs to form oxyhaemoglobin within the lungs. The oxyhaemoglobin then gives out O2 to all the cells. The remaining 3% gets dissolved in blood plasma. 70% of CO2 gets dissolved in blood plasma to reach the lungs from the tissues. The remaining contents of Co2 then combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin to reach the lungs from the tissues.
To put oxygen in hemoglobin in blood, so that it can be transported to the rest of your body.
The heart pumps oxygen and nutrients to the tissues of the body. It does this by circulating blood throughout the body's network of blood vessels.
Red blood cells release their oxygen in the capillaries. The oxygen diffuses across the capillary wall to reach the body tissues.
The hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the rest of the body, where it releases the oxygen to the tissues and collects the resultant carbon dioxide bringing it back to the lungs to be exhaled.
