red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin which is the respiratory pigment

in the lungs the haemoglobin combine with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin
some of the oxygen is taken up by the plasma
red blood cells don't have a nucleus so it has a large surface area for absorption of oxygen secondly it does not contain any mitochondria which might use the oxygen and complete transportation of Oxygen will not be occurring
this oxygen is given to the needy body tissues
