The red blood cells carry the oxygen in blood.
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.
After the mouth (or nose), oxygen (as part of the air) goes down your trachea, into the bronchi, and through the bronchioli, into the alveoli, where it enters the blood and gets taken via the blood to the various parts of your body.
Oxygenated blood contains blood cells as well as freshly cleaned blood containing oxygen. This blood is typically red in color.
The gas you need to stay alive is Oxygen, you need oxygen to carry vital functions of body, when you inhale oxygen, its goes directly into the lungs and through alveolis, which are present in lungs oxygen get absorbed into blood which is then taken to heart and heart pumps the blood to each and every part and organ of the body, so like this your body works.
Red corpuscles
Heamoglobin is in the blood. It is responsible for carrying oxygen, its therefore part of the cardiovascular system.
Pulmonary Circulation Is Responsible For Carrying Oxygen-Poor Blood From The Heart To The Lungs And Returns Oxygen-Rich Blood Back To The Heart. The Oxygen-Rich Blood Then Enters The Systemic Circulation Which Is The Circuit Responsible For Bringing Oxygenated Blood From The Heart To The Rest Of The Body. In This Part Of The Worksheet, You Are To Trace The This problem has been solved! Pulmonary circulation is responsible for carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs and returns oxygen-rich blood
The part of the blood that is responsible for carrying oxygen is hemoglobin. The hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs. Then the hemoglobin releases the oxygen at the cells. The part of the hemoglobin molecule that is directly responsible for carrying the oxygen is the iron ion in the center of the molecule's structure. The iron ion changes from a Fe +2 ion to a Fe +3 when carrying the oxygen. Then the hemoglobin reaches the cell, the iron ion decomposes back to the more stable Fe +2 state, replacing the oxygen with a water molecule.
The plasma, or liquid part of the blood, is primary responsible for transporting nutrients, hormones, and wastes. Oxygen, in contrast, is carried by the red blood cells.
No.Platelets are primarily for clotting.White blood cells are primarily for immunity.Red blood cells are primarily for oxygen carrying.
Red blood cells have a protein known as hemoglobin that is rich in iron making it good candidate to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body.
The intermittent finding of haemoglobin (oxygen carrying part of red blood cells) in your urine at night.
Any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying mainly oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.
The molecule of the protein haemoglobin has at its centre an atom of iron, as the central part of the molecule is an iron complex. This is why you need the mineral iron in your diet. Without sufficient iron in the diet the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is lowered, and you will soon become anaemic.
Capillary beds are responsible for diffusing blood/oxygen and water to tissues.
Blood is circulating throughout the entire body every minute of the day. Blood is composed of three components: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying the oxygen to the body and carbon monoxide and other wastes out of the body. A white blood cell is part of the immune system that will attack foreign particles. Lastly, the platelets are responsible for clotting. When someone has hemophilia the platelets in the blood do not react the way they should and will cause slow or no clotting of the damaged area.
