In the blood of vertebrates and some invertebrates iron ions bound in a protein complex called hemoglobin transports oxygen.

In the blood of many invertebrates copper ions bound in a protein complex called hemocyanin transports oxygen.

However it is very likely that unbound sodium ions in the blood plasma outnumber the iron ions or copper ions in either case.

There is in fact metal in the blood of humans and other animals. This metal includes but is not limited to iron.

Iron is the common metal found in blood but not as a metal but as an ion.
