Oxygen is transported in the blood
oxygen is carried in red blood cells
Oxygen is carried by the red blood cells. The hemoglobin in the blood mixes with oxygen, and this is transported to other parts of the body.
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood is approximately 20.2 mmol/L. This is equivalent to about 98.5% of the oxygen that is dissolved in the plasma. The remaining 1.5% is bound to hemoglobin and is termed oxyhemoglobin. The amount of oxygen that can be carried by the blood is dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood as well as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment which is why the amount of oxygen that can be carried varies in different environments. The following factors affect the amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood: Hemoglobin concentration Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin Partial pressure of oxygen in the environmentHemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body. The concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is an important factor in determining how much oxygen can be carried. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment. This means that the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood varies in different environments. For example in a high-altitude environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is lower the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is also lower resulting in less oxygen being carried in the blood.
Desaturation is a decrease in oxygen saturation, which is a measure of how much oxygen is being carried in the blood.
Well, blood is not carried. Blood, or blood cells, carry oxygen to and from the heart, spreading it throughout the body. Blood basically carries oxygen, and it itself is not carried.
