Haemoglobin
Wishing you all a good day filled with shines and sparkles everyday. Focus on creating happiness you are able to create, and removing all the misery you are able to remove. Blessed day fellas ! 😊
Let's have some fun exploring ourselves, shall we?
Today we are going to introduce to you another greatness of our magical fluid in our body which is '' B.L.O.O.D''. As we all known the blood contain red blood cell that function to carry the oxygen to the tissues and to return the carbon dioxide from tissues to the lung.
Have you guys ever wondered how this red blood cell work on this function amazingly? Have you ever think that what are the component of this little creation have to perform its function?
Amazingly, in order to achieve this gaseous exchange the red blood cells contain the specialized protein HAEMOGLOBIN. But, what and how is it actually haemoglobin mean to us?
Well... this is some background of haemoglobin.
The haemoglobin is actually a red globular protein, which have a molecular weight of about 68,000 and comprise almost one third of the weight of a red blood cell. The haemoglobin is actually composed of haem and globin.
Did you know ? Each of the red blood cell contains approximately 640 million haemoglobin molecules😮 Such an incredible and extraordinary !
So, below is the structure of the adult haemoglobin(Hb-A) consist of 4 polypeptide chain, each with own haem group.
But.... How is it actually this haemoglobin being synthesis? Who and where this haemoglobin being made? To know more about this ? Stay tune and we would be back with a bang in our next update ! Till then, sayonaraaa~

Unknown said...Yup its totally true as haemoglobin bind oxygen and transport it throughout blood vessel
