Description
Abstract
Hemoglobin is a molecular entity that is
capable of reversibly binding and releasing oxygen in
either extra- or intracellular milieus. It is present in
scattered invertebrates in physical solution or in cellular
sites while in vertebrates it is universally located in
circulating erythrocytes. These cells serve as the vehicle
for and otherwise foster the optimum utilization hemoglobin.
Hernoglobin's variable sphere of respiratory
activities can be viewed as reflecting the specific
requirements for each organism in which it is observed.
Once these concepts have been established and the
advantages and limitations of its cytologic packaging
recognized, the study of the erythrocyte as expressed in
its dimensions, colligative aspects, geometry, internal
morphology and pathologic variations can be approached
in a purposeful manner.
