Name the oxygen carrying pigment of human blood?

Haemoglobin. It is rich in iron and that is how it carries oxygen. Oxygen binds to iron very well. When it does the iron rusts giving iron a red color. That is why your blood is red because of the rust in it. Your blood also holds a certain amount of oxygen in the liquid portion like all liquids.. It would take more air than there is in the whole tubing to kill you. Thus little tiny air bubbles in an IV line would be absorbed into your blood like all the other air already there and your body would not notice a thing. But I digress….
