A2 - Levitzky, Michael A2 - McDonough, Kathleen A2 - Kaye, Alan David A2 - Hall, Stanley Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Clinical Physiology in Anesthetic Practice AB - The blood carries oxygen both physically dissolved in the blood and chemically bound to the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Normally, much more oxygen is transported in combination with hemoglobin than physically dissolved in the blood. Without hemoglobin, the cardiovascular system could not transport sufficient oxygen to meet tissue demands. The blood carries carbon dioxide in physical solution, chemically combined to amino acids in blood proteins, and as bicarbonate ions.
