People will receive a blood transfusion when there is a significant loss of blood, severe anemia, or as otherwise directed by a physician. On average, a transfusion of one pint of blood will raise hemoglobin levels by one gram. Hemoglobin is measured by grams per deciliter (100 milliliters) of whole blood.

How much oxygen is generally transported in combination with hemoglobin in red blood cells?

Each hemoglobin molecule can bind to up to four molecules of oxygen. In red blood cells, hemoglobin typically transports around 98-99% of the oxygen in the blood.


How much hemoglobin can a RBC carry?

Each red blood cell can carry approximately 270 million hemoglobin molecules. Hemoglobin is the protein responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.


What is found within the red blood cells in the blood vessels?

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. This allows oxygen to be exchanged for carbon dioxide in the tissues, which is then carried back to the lungs for exhalation.


What is hemoglobin alc?

The hemoglobin A1c, or glycohemoglobin, is a measure of how much sugar is attached to the hemoglobin protein in the blood. Sine hemoglobin is removed from the blood along with the red cell in which it is resides measuring the a1c can give an estimate of ow high the sugar has been averaging over the life of the red cell, which is usually about 120 days (4 months). The most recent time frame has a larger effect on it than more distant times so it is often, somewhat inaccurately, said to give a 3 month average. It can be affected by anemia, blood loss, blood transfusions and abnormal hemoglobins.


What is the protein found in red blood cells that give blood its color?

iron. the blood contains iron and when you breathe, you give oxygen to it. so your blood is red pretty much because of oxidized iron. the red blood cells take the oxygen through the body and when it is deposited the blood turns blue, that's why the veins in your wrist are blue.

Do red blood cells have more hemoglobin than white blood cells?

Yes! All red blood cells are only hemoglobin encased in a membrane. White blood cells do not carry much hemoglobin, becasue they have every other organelle like the ER, nucleus, and golgi apparatus to name a few. Red blood cells don't even have a nucleus! Their sole purpose is to give hemoglobin to the blood. When red blood cells are being made in the marrow, they have organelles but once they are mature, everything is taken out and they become hemoglobin carriers, with nothing else. So finally, red blood cells have much more hemoglobin than white blood cells.
