 Transport of Oxygen in blood
 O2 is transported from lungs to the tissues in two forms:
 In Dissolved form in the plasma (2%)
 Means, healthy adult, 0.3 ml/dl of O2 is transported
in dissolved form in blood
 In combination with Hb in the red cell (98%)
 About 98% of O2 is transported in combination
with Hb called oxyhemoglobin (HbO2)
 Its possible due to the binding affinity of Hb with
oxygen.
 Hb that does not bind with O2 is called
deoxyhemoglobin or reduced-hemoglobin
