In which form is oxygen transported in the blood to the tissues?

Molecules of O2 bind to haemoglobin (Hg) in red blood cells- each Hg can carry four O2 molecules, and each red blood cell contains a lot of Hg.

Do lunges transport oxygen to tissues?
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
In which form is carbon dioxide primarily transported in the blood?
CO2 is transported in blood as a disolved gas or a gas in solution.
What are the functions of red blood cells?
A major function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all the tissues from the lungs. They also transport carbon dioxide back out of the body.Red blood cells contain specific proteins (hemoglobins), which bind with the oxygen and the carbon dioxide (not at the same sites), enabling the transport of these gases. Several medical conditions may include a reduced capacity of the red blood cells to carry oxygen.Oxygen bound to the haemoglobin(protein) to form oxyhaemoglobin and transported the target organs. Functions as temperature regulator. Control of erythropoiesis and its destruction.
How does blood inter the body?
It doesn't you are born with blood and cells witch form tissues witch form organs
What form of CO2 transport accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in the blood?
Dissolved in plasma
Do lunges transport oxygen to tissues?
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in humans?
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.
Why do people need respiration?
To convert oxygen in the air into a usable form in the blood stream. Without adequate oxygen in the blood your tissues will not get enough oxygen to function properly resulting in tissue ischemia (suffocating) and necrosis (death)
In what form is o2 carried in blood?
Oxygen is bound to a protein (a respiratory pigment), called hemoglobin.
How does the circulatory system get oxygen and sugar to all the cells in the body?
When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen from the alveoli diffuse into the capillaries and is taken up by red blood cells. There it binds to hemoglobin. The red blood cells will travel through the arteries to the tissues where the oxygen will disassociate itself from the hemoglobin and diffuse into the tissues (cells).

In the plasma the quantity of oxygen in solution is?
only about 1.5% of the oxygen transported is carried in the dissolved form
The majority of carbon dioxide is transported in the blood as?
Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen from the lungs or gills to body tissues via the blood. Red blood cells are also known as RBCs', haematids or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow", with cyte nowadays translated as "cell"). "RBCs" should in fact be referred to as "corpuscles" rather than "cells". Indeed, a 'cell' contains a nuclear element, mature RBCs do not contain a nucleus in mammals. **so the answer is c...hope this helps! c. red corpuscles
In which form is carbon dioxide primarily transported in the blood?
CO2 is transported in blood as a disolved gas or a gas in solution.
What is capillarisation?
a capillary is our body's smallest form of blood vessel the more capillary's at the muscles, the more oxygen the muscles can use an increase in capillarisation means that there is an increase in blood vessels and subsequently an increase in the opportunity for blood (and oxygen) to be transported to and used by the muscles a decrease in capillarisation means that there is a decrease in poo vessels and subsequently a decrease in the opportunity for blood (and oxygen) to be transported to and used by the muscles aerobic or endurance training does well to bring about an increase in capillarisation, meaning that muscles can perform for longer peroids of time as they are able to use more oxygen for contraction
What are 4 function of blood?
Blood is essential to all animal life. Blood serves many purposes as it is the only form of oxygen transport from the heart to the brain. Red blood cells surge through veins and arteries providing the body with the precious oxygen that sustains life. If you need a list, here you are: # White blood cells protect against harmful bacteria and viruses. # Oxygen is transported through red blood cells to the brain, lungs, and body tissues. # Transports waste products of cellular metabolism and nutrients. # Regulates body temperature, blood clotting for flesh wounds, acid-base balance, water, and electrolytes This should provide enough understanding of the purpose of blood to answer the question asked.
