Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues and returning carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. It consists of four subunits, each containing an iron atom that binds to oxygen. Hemoglobin's ability to carry oxygen is crucial for maintaining the body's metabolic functions and overall health. Abnormal hemoglobin levels can indicate various medical conditions, including anemia and chronic respiratory diseases.
