Hemoglobin primarily attaches to oxygen molecules in the lungs, where it binds to oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin. It can also bind to carbon dioxide, transporting it from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation. Additionally, hemoglobin can bind to hydrogen ions and carbon monoxide, although the latter can be harmful and interfere with oxygen transport.
