Hemoglobin
Yes. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin. This prevents the normal combination of oxygen with haemoglobin, thus depriving cells all round the body of the oxygen they need.
Nothing does. Carbon monoxide is toxic. If your blood is rich in it, you will soon be dead. Veins generally carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide.
Red blood cells normally transport oxygen through the bloodstream, releasing it to tissues that need it. However, carbon monxide bonds to the red blood cells much better than oxygen, and is not released once it combines with them. The red blood cells are unable to transport oxygen (they are already full of carbon monoxide), and you can become ill or die from lack of oxygen.
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood. This can lead to symptoms of hypoxia, such as headache, dizziness, and nausea. In severe cases, carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal.
No. Quite the opposite: carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin, which prevents the blood from carrying oxygen. This condition can be fatal.
because carbon monoxide is poisonous and it affects our health.
Carbon monoxide inhibit blood platelet aggregation.
because we need oxygen for our muscles and organs to function, and carbon monoxide (CO) combines with the haemoglobin (the red stuff in red blood cells) like oxygen does. But when CO combines it does so instead of the O thereby reducing the blood's capacity to carry O.
Carbon monoxide is exactly like carbon dioxide, except that it is missing an oxygen atom. Animal blood uses iron, the iron rusts making the blood red, to transport oxygen by combining the iron with the oxygen making iron oxide, or rust. The oxygen in rust can be easily taken from iron because oxygen combines with many things more easily than it does with iron. One such molecule is carbon monoxide. When the carbon monoxide is breathed in, it mixes with the blood, just like the other air that gets sucked in. When the carbon monoxide gets into the blood, the oxygen that is attached to the iron, the body attaches oxygen to iron to transport it and it uses it by combining it with carbon to dispose of waste, leaves the iron and goes to the carbon monoxide which makes carbon dioxide. So very simply carbon monoxide sucks the oxygen from the blood making the person suffocate, because they can no longer use the oxygen they breathe in.
Yes. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin. This prevents the normal combination of oxygen with haemoglobin, thus depriving cells all round the body of the oxygen they need.
A variety of different factors can disrupt the body's ability. A main one is carbon monoxide, which combines with red blood cells more easily than oxygen. Search 'carbon monoxide poisoning'

I believe it measures the carbon monoxide saturation of blood. This is how carbon monoxide poisoning is checked. Hope that helps! Dave

A high concentration of carbon monoxide means that the haemoglobin in your red blood cells is being destroyed. Carbon monoxide is a very toxic gas.
CO on a blood test typically stands for "carbon monoxide." Elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the blood can be harmful and are often seen in cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can range from mild to severe and may include headache, dizziness, confusion, and ultimately lead to death if exposure is prolonged.
