    group consists of an iron (Fe) ion held in a heterocyclic ring. Iron binds with oxygen. Therefore‚ it has a very important role in transporting oxygen in the blood. How is iron stored and transported in the body?1 Approximately two-third of the iron in the body is stored in hemoglobin. The Surplus iron that is not available directly in the blood is stored in the iron-storing proteins known as ferritin. When dietary iron has been plentiful‚ ferritin is constantly and rapidly made and broken down‚ providing

    and Physiology II Unit 5 Gas Exchange Explain how the gas laws and the properties of gases affect the gas exchange between the lung‚ blood‚ and tissues. The major function of the respiratory system is to provide the body with oxygen and rid the body of carbon dioxide. Gas exchange occurs between blood and alveolar air (external respiration) and between blood and tissues (internal respiration).Gas exchange process depends on properties of gasses. Based upon the Basic properties of Gases; Dalton’s

    B cells belong to a group of white blood cells known as lymphocytes‚ making them a vital part of the immune system The human body makes millions of different types of B cells each day that circulate in the blood and lymphatic system performing the role of immune surveillance. They do not produce antibodiesuntil they become fully activated. Each B cell has a unique receptor protein (referred to as the B cell receptor (BCR)) on its surface that will bind to one particular antigen. If the pathogens are

    releases Oxygen to the body via the blood circulation. Hemoglobin is made of 4 polypeptide chains with each chain containing an iron-heme structure that contains the oxygen-binding site. Each hemoglobin molecule twists a polypeptide chain into a helical secondary structure. The helices drape around the heme group and form into a tertiary structure subunit. The four subunits are packed into a globular quaternary protein structure. The iron-heme structures give the red color to hemoglobin. Each hemoglobin
