MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red blood cells and haemoglobin The red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin, each molecule of which binds four oxygen molecules. Oxyhaemoglobin forms. The oxygen molecules are carried to individual cells in the body tissue where they are released.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein that is found within all RBCs. It picks up oxygen where it is abundant (the lungs) and drops off oxygen where it is needed around the body. Hemoglobin is also the pigment that gives RBCs their red color.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each hemoglobin protein structure consists of four polypeptide subunits, which are held together by ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces, as well as four heme pigments, one in each of the subunits (Sadava et al., 2008).

Detailed explanation-5: -Hemoglobin is made up of a protein called globin and a compound called heme. Heme consists of iron and a pigment called porphyrin, which gives your blood its red color. Hemoglobin serves the important role of carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide through your blood.
