Other than as free gases in the lungs, gases are either dissolved in the blood plasma or absorbed by the protein hemoglobin found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin mostly absorbs oxygen, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide and carries these gases between the cells and the lungs. Nitrogen gas dissolves in blood plasma and body tissues, and is also a metabolic byproduct (as urea).
