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.

Where is the largest store of oxygen in the body?
In your blood. The protein hemoglobin carries oxygen-molecules between the lungs and the peripheral tissues and organs.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the circulatory system and tissues occurs at the?
In the lungs - specifically, the alveoli.
What is the purpose of a red blood cell?
A major function of the red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all the tissues from the lungs_______________________________________________________________________A red blood cell transports oxygen for respirationRed corpuscles carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Which system is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells?
The respiratory system, which is made up of the heart, lungs and blood vessels.
Which organ system works with the respiratory system to distribute oxygen to the body tissues?
The Respiratory System.
The iron-containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues is?
The iron-containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues would be "Hemoglobin".
What is the iron containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues?
hemoglobin
What hemoglobin does?
Transports oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues. Hemoglobin is what gives red blood cells their color.
The circulatory system is most dependent on which other organ?
The circulatory system is dependent on the lungs. The lungs bring oxygen into the body, and the circulatory system transports that oxygen to body tissues.
What organ transports blood to lungs and body tissues?
heart
Is the job of the circulatory system to bring fresh air to blood?
No. The circulatory system does transport various gasses around the body but the main gas the body needs is Oxygen (and not 'fresh air'). The blood transports breathed in Oxygen from the lungs into the tissues and organs and transports waste gasses such as carbon dioxide from the tissues and organs to the lungs to be expelled when breathing out. The circulatory system's job is transportation of the gasses to and from where they need to go in the body.
What organism transports oxygen?
The lungs take oxygen into the body and the blood transports oxygen throughout the body.
What do red blood cell transport from tissues?
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
Capillaries are to body tissues as are to lungs?
oxygen
Why is hemoglobin present in human R.B.C's?
Hemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein, or a protein that contains a metal ion cofactor, in the R.B.C of all vertebrates, except for the fish family Channichthyidae, and the tissues of some invertebrates. Hemoglobin in the blood is what transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body (i.e. the tissues) where it releases the oxygen for cell use, and collects carbon dioxide to bring it back to the lungs.
How does the fresh oxygen transports to your blood?
thru your nose in to your lungs and finaly to you blood
Can your bloodstream store oxygen?
Your bloodstream can't store oxygen for an extended period; it just transports it from the lungs to where it is needed.
