Transport of Respiratory Gases

Blood is formed by different types of cells; Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Each erythrocyte or red blood cell contains around 300 million of hemoglobin molecules which bind reversibly and rapidly to oxygen gas and carbon dioxide.
-Hemoglobin is transported by the following reversible reaction:

Hemoglobin +oxygen gas ↔ oxyhemoglobin


-Carbon dioxide is transported by the following reversible reaction:

Hemoglobin + carbon dioxide ↔carbohemoglobin
What are the blood constituents that maintain the transport of gases? In which forms are these gases transported?

  1. The hemoglobin molecule makes possible oxygen transport through blood. Oxygen binds to the hemoglobin molecule to be transported in the form of oxyhemoglobin to different organs, tissues and cells in the body.
