Hemoglobin is an iron-protein compound in red blood cells that gives blood its red color and transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide. Hemoglobin is present in all but the least complex of animals. It carries oxygen from the lungs or gills, where blood is oxygenated, to body cells. When saturated with oxygen, hemoglobin is called oxyhemoglobin. After releasing oxygen to the body tissues, hemoglobin reverses its function and picks up carbon dioxide, the waste product of cellular respiration, for transport to the lungs, where it is expired. When saturated with carbon dioxide, hemoglobin is known as carboxyhemoglobin.
