Transport of O2 by the blood • Physically dissolved • At 37°C, 1 ml of plasma contains 0.00003 ml O2/mm Hg PO2 • Normal arterial blood contains 0.3 ml O2/100 ml • Chemically combined to hemoglobin • 1 gram of hemoglobin can combine with 1.34 ml of O2 when fully saturated • A person with 15 g Hb/100 ml of blood can carry 20.1 ml O2/100 ml blood O2 bound to Hb % Hb saturation = x 100% O2 capacity of Hb
Hemoglobin, human, adult (heterotetramer, (αβ)2) Heme b group The protein's α and β subunits are in red and blue, and the iron-containing hemegroups in green

Cyanosis • Occurs when more than 5 grams of hemoglobin/100 ml of arterial blood are in the “deoxy” state • Absence of cyanosis does not rule out hypoxemia (anemia) • Presence of cyanosis does not always indicate hypoxemia (polycythemia)
Transport of CO2 by the blood • Physically dissolved (5-10%) • At 37°C, 1 ml of plasma contains 0.0006 ml CO2/mm Hg PCO2 • Normal arterial blood contains 2.4 ml CO2/100 ml • Carbamino compounds (5-10%) • Bicarbonate (80-90%) CO2 (Gas phase) Carbonic Anhydrase - CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3 (Dissolved in the aqueous phase)
