How different are oxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin?Where is it expected to find a higher concentration of oxyhemoglobin, in peripheral tissues or in the lungs?

1 Answer

Answer :

Oxygen-bound hemoglobin is called oxyhemoglobin. In the lungs the oxygen concentration is higher and so there is a higher oxyhemoglobin concentration. In the peripheral tissues the situation is the reverse, the concentration of oxygen is lower and there is more free hemoglobin. The Circulatory System - Image Diversity: oxyhemoglobin
