Question

Where does haemoglobin release oxygen in the body?

Answer 1

Hemoglobin:

1. Hemoglobin is an iron-containing pigment present in red blood cells.
2. Haemoglobin refers to a pigment that carries oxygen.
3. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that carry blood.
4. Reversible binding between oxygen and hemoglobin can result in the formation of oxyhemoglobin.
5. A maximum of four oxygen molecules can be carried by each hemoglobin molecule.
6. The partial pressure of oxygen is mostly related to the binding of oxygen with hemoglobin.
7. The additional variables that may impact this binding are temperature, pH, and carbon dioxide partial pressure.
8. Hemoglobin is loaded with oxygen and releases oxygen into the blood's plasma by passing through the pulmonary capillaries.
9. It is the process by which hemoglobin releases oxygen in the bloodstream.
