No - not really anyhow. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by breathing in air. The lungs function as an exchange system which loads up the red blood cells with oxygen. So lungs give oxygen to red blood cells which then deliver the oxygen to all the parts of the body.
carry oxygen.
Its carries "oxygen rich blood" away from the heart.
Oxygen, CO2 and other waste
Red blood cells have no nucleus. This allows them more space to carry oxygen.
they are concave in shape and have the ability to carry oxygen to all main body organs
The red blood cells in the circulatory system carry oxygen from the lungs to all the cells in the body. This transportation of oxygen is facilitated by the protein hemoglobin found in red blood cells.
In case of human being you have red blood cells in your blood. They contain haemoglobin. This can carry seventy times more oxygen than plasma can carry. ( Say about 280 ml/ 100 ml of blood.) The bonding of oxygen is strong enough to hold the oxygen at lungs and to carry it in blood. Here the oxygen concentration is high. This bonding is loose enough to give oxygen at proximal end of the capillaries. Here oxygen concentration is low. This oxygen is carried through the interstitial fluid to the cells.
The blood tissue is conformed of three types of cells: The Red Blood Cells or Erythrocytes, that carry oxygen and collect carbon dioxide; White Blood Cells or Leukocytes, that are part of the immune system and Platelets or Thrombocytes, that are involved in homeostasis processes.
Red blood cells transport oxygen, white blood cells defend against disease, ... This way remaining red blood cells can still oxygenate body tissue. .... true that receiving a unit of transfused bloodin the US does not carry many risks, ...
The main function of red blood cells in the human body is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all the cells in the body and to carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled.
The function of red blood cells in the human body is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all the cells in the body and to carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled.
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the parts of the body that need it, and return carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled.
