I believe what you're asking is how do red blood cells carry oxygen. They carry oxygen because they contain a compound called hemoglobin which is a protein which is complexed with another compound called heme. Heme can bind an oxygen molecule while that blood cell is passing through the lungs and then releases the oxygen molecule when that blood cell passes through the other parts of the body.
What carries oxygen in your blood is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin har a core made out of an Iron-attom.
When hemoglobin is oxygenated (carrying oxygen), the oxygen and iron reacts and it turns red. If it's not carrying oxygen (deoxygenated) this core will look blue.
Except from the pulmonary veins, the veins in the human body carry deoxygenated blood.
What you see on your lower arm as blue blood vessels is therefore veins.
This means that you do not have to be of royal blood to have blue blood.

Which gas does blood carry to cells of the body?
Oxygen (O2)
What gas is carried to the cells of your body?
The blood carries oxygen to all the cells of the body.
What is the primary gas carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells?
oxygen
Which gas does blood carry to the cells of the body What else does it carry to the cells?
It carries oxygen and carbon dioxide away from the cells of the body.* * * * *Not so.In general, it carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells.
What carries the 02 in gas transport?
Hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, carries oxygen in gas transport. Oxygen molecules bind to the iron present in hemoglobin, allowing red blood cells to transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Does oxygen travel bound to hemoglobin and also as a gas?
Yes, oxygen can travel bound to hemoglobin inside red blood cells and also as a gas dissolved in the plasma of blood. When oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, it forms oxyhemoglobin, which is the primary way oxygen is transported in the blood.
What poisonous gas is produced when tobacco is burned and affects the supply of oxygen to body cells?
Carbon monoxide is produced by a burning cigarette. This gas bonds with the red blood cells in the blood stream in the place of oxygen molecules, reducing its absorption.
What poisoned gas is produced when tobacco is burned and affects the supply of oxygen to body cells?
Carbon monoxide is produced by a burning cigarette. This gas bonds with the red blood cells in the blood stream in the place of oxygen molecules, reducing its absorption.
What gas is transported in the blood make makes it bright red?
Oxygen is the gas transported by red blood cells that gives them a bright red color.
What important gas do red blood cells in the capillaries absorb and transport throughout the body?
Red blood cells absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at lungs which was absorbed from other cells in the body during blood circulation, then it releases oxygen to those body cells in order to respire and release energy .
Where does gas get exchanged in the circulatory system?
In lungs where carbon dioxide is released and oxygen absorbed and in cells where oxygen is given to cells and carbon dioxide is absorbed by blood.
The gas that goes into the blood stream through the blood is?
Oxygen is brought into the blood stream by inhalation. Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells, into the blood, and taken to the lungs to be exhaled. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
