Hemoglobin is the compound in the human body that allows oxygen to move from the lungs throughout the body. It's one of the most important parts of the respiratory system, and a deficiency of hemoglobin is life-threatening.

There is no substance that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide. These gasses merely fall from areas of high concentration to low concentration. So when you inhale, the air carries more oxygen than the blood in the lungs. The result: Oxygen moves from the area of high concentration to low concentration (in this case, from the air in our lungs to the blood in our lungs). Also, the air that we breathe in contains less carbon dioxide than the blood in our lungs. The result: carbon dioxide moves from the area of high concentration to the area of low concentration (in this case, from our blood to the air in our lungs). It is all a measure of partial pressures of these gasses. Each gas in a mixture will have its own partial pressure, be it in the air we breathe or dissolved in our blood. This partial pressure will seek to equalize whether it is across a membrane or not. Science flows from highs to lows; it never sucks but always blows.
