What protein do blood cells use to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin. It carries oxygen from the respiratory organs to the rest of the body where it releases the oxygen to provide energy to power functions of the body, and then collects the carbon dioxide to take back to the respiratory organs to be dispensed from the body.
Were does the blood take oxygen and nutrients?
To the rest of the body. It exchanges the gasses and nutrients with the rest of the body at the capillaries.
The name of the protein found in red blood cells that plays an essential role in oxygen transport is?
Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. To do this blood cells have a specialized protein that is able to bind oxygen to the blood cell. This protein is known as hemoglobin.
Why is the blood flowing to the heart oxygen-poor while the blood flowing to the rest of the body is oxygen-rich?
When the blood is flowing back to the heart, the blood has already given off its oxygen to the rest of the body which means it contain less oxygen concentration in the blood. and when blood is flowing from the heart to the rest of the body, the blood contains high level of oxygen because they were being given oxygen by the lungs which passes along the heart and the heart pumps it to the rest of the body.
In humans which of these is required for carrying oxygen from the lungs to body cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the rest of the body.
The most important element the blood carries to the rest of your body?
oxygen
Large blood vessel that carries oxygen rich blood to the body?
Aorta is the main and largest artery. It carries blood out of the heart from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
What carries oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the lungs and the rest of the body?
Erthrocytes, known as red blood cells
Do you die if you have no oxygen in your blood cell?
No oxygen at all? Yes. This is because certain types of blood cells carries oxygen to your brain. If your brain has no oxygen, it will shut down, and, as a result, so will the rest of your body.
Which body part transport oxygen removes waste materials and carries nutrients to the body as part of the circulatory system?
The circulatory system does all this but the blood and plasma are the "part" that you are talking about. The hemoglobin carries the oxygen and some of the waste gas called carbon dioxide but the plasma carries the rest. The plasma is the liquid part of the blood.
How red blood cells carries oxygen?
Not the full answer... however, to keep a long story short...Haemoglobin in the blood reacts with the oxygen you breathe in and carries it from the lungs and the heart which pumps it to the rest of the body... Somewhere(not sure where), mini-electrolysis is carried within(yes, within) the body and the haemoglobin seperates with the oxygen...white
Is blood filled with oxygen in the lungs?
arteries carry red blood (oxygen), veins carry blue blood (no oxygen), i don't think that blood carries CO2,
Since the right side of the heart carries carbon dioxide does it mean that the left side of your body has more oxygen?
That is essentially correct. The right side carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen. The now oxygenated blood then goes to the left side and is pumped to the rest of the body.
Why do you need a lung?
It is used to bring oxygen to the bloodstream, which carries it to the rest of your body so that your cells can respirate *I removed an inappropriate and disrespectful reply that did not help answer the question*
What is the relationship between oxygen and iron in your body?
Iron and hemoglobin ( a substance found in your red blood cells) combine with oxygen and it turns the blood color from a dark color, to a healthy bright color, also iron picks up oxygen, and carries it through the rest of your body.
Which body part transports oxygen removes waste materials and carries nutrients to the body as part of the circulatory system?
The circulatory system does all this but the blood and plasma are the "part" that you are talking about. The hemoglobin carries the oxygen and some of the waste gas called carbon dioxide but the plasma carries the rest. The plasma is the liquid part of the blood.
Which blood vessel bring oxygen poor blood to the heart from the rest of the body?
With one exception, veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The largest and last blood vessel they pass through is called the superior vena cava. The exception is the Pulmonary Vein, which carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.
