Other than as free gases in the lungs, gases are either dissolved in the blood plasma or absorbed by the protein hemoglobin found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin mostly absorbs oxygen, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide and carries these gases between the cells and the lungs. Nitrogen gas dissolves in blood plasma and body tissues, and is also a metabolic byproduct (as urea).

How are hormones carried around the body?
hormones are carried around the body in the blood
How does the exchange of gases occur in humans and mammals?
In the lungs at the alveolar sites, carbon dioxide is detached and excreted and oxgygen binds to hemoglobin to be carried back to the heart, then pumped out to the body via the aorta.
How does the body take out the gases which we don't need?
The lungs allow our blood to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and other gases. When we exhale, those gases are pushed out of our body.
Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?
nutrients and oxygen
Is the exchange of gases within the cells of the body known as internal respiration?
No. The exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells is called internal respiration. External respiration refers to the exchange of gases between the blood and the air inside of the alveoli of the lungs.
What are the functions of blood in respiration?
Blood in the body carried respiratory gases (i.e. O2 and CO2) around the body to cells where it's needed for cellular respiration.
How are hormones carried around the body?

What two gases are carried with the blood as it goes to the different parts of the body?
