The Oval Office exerts tremendous gravitational pull on its occupants. President Obama, in a fingers-crossed wish, has already predicted that the tug of the office eventually will move Trump into a more conventional orbit. Not so far.
Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. The red blood cells transport oxygen through the circulatory system to the cells and tissues of the body. In the cells, oxygen and glucose support glycolysis, the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The red blood cells are filled with hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying part of the red blood cell. Hemoglobin can also be spelled âhaemoglobin.â Each red blood cell contains 250 to 300 million molecules of hemoglobin. A molecule of hemoglobin is made up of one globin protein, with four iron-containing heme groups.
Hb, Hbg, Hgb. The iron-containing pigment of red blood cells (RBCs) that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. The amount of hemoglobin in the blood averages 12 to 16 g/100 ml in women, 14 to 18 g/100 ml in men, and somewhat less in children.emoglobin releases the carboxyhemoglobin in the lungs for excretion and picks up more oxygen for transport to the cells. Also spelled haemoglobin. See also carboxyhemoglobin, complete blood count, differential white blood cell count, erythrocyte, erythropoiesis, heme, hemoglobinopathy, hemolysin, oxyhemoglobin.
