Haemoglobin carries 49 times more oxygen than plasma.
- Blood is primarily responsible for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide that is it helps in gaseous exchange in our body.
- The two phases of blood responsible are the plasma and the red blood cell are responsible for the transport of oxygen.
- Oxygen is transported in two forms they are dissolved in plasma and RBC water which constitutes 2% of the total oxygen carried and by reversibly binding to haemoglobin which constitutes 98% of the total oxygen transported.
- In physiology, a small amount of oxygen is dissolved in plasma since the solubility of oxygen is low therefore lower percentage of oxygen is carried by plasma.
- On the other hand, haemoglobin is composed of four subunits to which oxygen binds.
