Haemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs to transport it to tissues throughout the body. It also binds to carbon dioxide in the tissues and transports it back to the lungs for exhalation. This crucial function helps to maintain the body's oxygen and carbon dioxide balance.

How is haemoglobin is used to transport oxygen?

Haemoglobin binds to oxygen molecules in the lungs to form oxyhemoglobin. This oxyhemoglobin is then transported through the bloodstream to tissues and organs, where it releases the oxygen for cellular respiration. Once the oxygen is released, haemoglobin picks up carbon dioxide to be transported back to the lungs for exhalation.
