Hi there.
00:03
Let's talk about oxygen and hemoglobin and the reversible reaction that occurs there.
00:11
So you breathe in air and of course that goes through your lungs and in your lungs there is quite a bit of oxygen.
00:22
That oxygen binds to the hemoglobin.
00:27
Since there's lots of oxygen in your lungs, the oxygen goes ahead and binds to the hemoglobin.
00:39
And it forms this complex where it shows the oxygen bonded to the receptor on the hemoglobin.
00:52
So the hemoglobin has receptors, and that's where the oxygen binds.
00:57
This occurs in the environment when there is lots of oxygen, in other words, in the lungs.
01:06
And then, so this is our reaction, let's talk about what happens once the hemoglobin travels to other tissues and cells in your body.
01:18
When that hemoglobin travels to other tissues and cells in your body, there is a much lower concentration of oxygen there...
