What substance in blood carries oxygen?
Red blood cells in blood carry oxygen throughout the body. The actual chemical substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin also carries carbon-dioxide when passed through capillarys, the part where the carbon dioxide is exchanged with the oxygen. capillaries are a cell thick for the lower blood presure.
How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
Does the human body create carbon dioxide?
YES!!! You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
What organ system that takes oxygen into the body and gits rid of carbon dioxide and water vapor?
The respiratory system takes oxygen into the body and rids itself of carbon dioxide.
Is oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the human body?
Yes
What carries oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body?
Blood.
Where is carbon dioxide found in blood?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the body and carbon dioxide back from the body to the lungs.
What is the major function of the blood in your body?
It carries carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Which gas does blood carry to the cells of the body What else does it carry to the cells?
It carries oxygen and carbon dioxide away from the cells of the body.* * * * *Not so.In general, it carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells.
What carries food and oxygen to all parts of the body?
Haemoglobin in the carry oxygen to all parts of the body in the form of oxyhaemoglobin.It leaves oxygen,carries carbon dioxide from the body cells forming carboxyhaemoglobin to carry the carbon dioxide to the lungs to be passed out through the nose.
Does the Blood that is pumped from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery have more carbon dioxide or more oxygen?
More oxygen, for the pumped blood circle through the body and the body consumes more oxygen and carries more oxygen than it carries carbon-dioxide.
What blood cell carries oxygen and carbon dioxide gases on them?
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen (or carbon dioxide) around the body.
Function of the central nervous system?
It carries oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide from the body
What carries oxygen and carbon dioxide through the whole body?
blood my science teacher told me
What is the importance of haemoglobin in the blood cells?
Haemoglobin carries oxygen around the body, and removes carbon dioxide.
What is part of the blood that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide through the body?
Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
What carries oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the lungs and the rest of the body?
Erthrocytes, known as red blood cells
