What protein carries oxygen to muscles?
The hemoglobin which exists inside our RBCs (Red Blood Cells) carries the oxygen from lungs throughout our entire body.
What happens in the body during carbon monoxide poisioning?
Carbon monoxide poisoning prevents red blood cells from carrying out their normal function of transporting oxygen throughout the body. Consequently, all the cells of the body will suffer from lack of oxygen, which will prevent them from carrying out their normal metabolic functions and make them effectively shut down. The brain is the most sensitive to lack of oxygen, and within minutes, will suffer unconsciousness and then death, when deprived of oxygen.
What carries the nutrient and oxygen throughout the body?
The blood. For oxygen specifically, the hemoglobin or red blood cells. "Food" per se does not travel around the body at all; our stomachs and intestines break down the food we eat into simple sugars, starches and proteins, which then are picked up by the blood and carried around with the oxygen.
