Hemoglobin - Wikipedia
Hemoglobin (haemoglobin, [a] Hb or Hgb) is a protein containing iron that facilitates the transport of oxygen in red blood cells. Almost all vertebrates contain hemoglobin, [3] with the sole exception of the fish family Channichthyidae. [4]
Oxyhaemoglobin | ABG Interpretation - MedSchool
2021年2月15日 — Oxyhaemoglobin refers to the percentage of haemoglobin that is bound to oxygen. Normal Range. >90% Reduced Oxyhaemoglobin. The level of haemoglobin saturated by oxygen may be reduced in the context of reduced oxygen, right shift of the oxygen saturation curve, displacement of oxygen by carbon dioxide, or in the setting of haemoglobinopathies.
Oxyhemoglobin Definition and Examples - Biology Online
2021年2月26日 — The hemoglobin in which oxygen is bound to is referred to as oxyhemoglobin. In contrast, the hemoglobin wherein oxygen has been released is then called deoxyhemoglobin. The hemoglobin when combined with oxygen renders a bright red color. Deoxyhemoglobin, in turn, appears dark red burgundy.
Physiology, Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2023年7月31日 — Oxygen is primarily transported throughout the body in red blood cells, attached to hemoglobin molecules. Oxygen is also dissolved directly in the bloodstream, but this dissolved fraction contributes little to the total amount of oxygen carried in the bloodstream.
Arterial blood gases - UpToDate
2023年7月10日 — An arterial blood gas (ABG) is a test that measures the oxygen tension (PaO 2), carbon dioxide tension (PaCO 2), acidity (pH), oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO 2), and bicarbonate (HCO 3) concentration in arterial blood. Some blood gas analyzers also measure the methemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin, and hemoglobin levels.
Hemoglobin: Structure, Function and Allostery - PMC
Hemoglobin is a polyfunctional molecule that is involved in several functions, such as catalytic (nitrite reductase, NO dioxygenase, monooxygenase, alkylhydroperoxidase, esterase, lipoxygenase); nitric oxide metabolism; metabolic reprogramming; pH regulation and maintaining redox balance (Kosmachevskaya and Topunov 2018).

2023年3月27日 — The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is a vital tool for comprehending how blood transports and releases oxygen (see Figure. Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve). Oxygen is carried throughout the body primarily by a protein molecule, hemoglobin, which is …
Hemoglobin | Definition, Structure, & Function | Britannica
2024年10月30日 — Hemoglobin, iron-containing protein in the blood of many animals that transports oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin forms an unstable reversible bond with oxygen. In the oxygenated state, it is called oxyhemoglobin and is …
Physiology of haemoglobin | BJA Education | Oxford Academic
2012年5月15日 — Haemoglobin forms carbamino compounds with carbon dioxide and buffers hydrogen ions within the erythrocyte, so facilitating the carriage of carbon dioxide in blood. Abnormal haemoglobins arise from changes in either the globin chains, the iron atom, or from binding of ligands other than oxygen.
Oxygen Transport in the Blood | Physiology | Geeky Medics
2020年11月10日 — Haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a tetramer, meaning it is made up of four subunits. Each subunit is formed of a globin polypeptide chain and an associated haem group (a porphyrin ring with a central iron atom). Each iron atom, and therefore each subunit, can reversibly associate with a single oxygen molecule.
