Human Hemoglobin is a major component of red blood cells and is responsible for thier red color.

human hemoglobin main component of red blood cells, is a protein that carries oxygen away from the lungs and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. A molecule of human hemoglobin(hb) consists of 2 pairs of peptide (alpha and beta globins) chains and four heme groups, each with one atom of iron. At a normal oxygen tension of 100 mmHg in the blood vessels of the lungs, 95 - 98% of the human hemoglobin(hb) is combined with oxygen. In the tissues further from the lungs, where the oxygen tension is much lower, the oxygen readily separates from human hemoglobin(hb).

Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells that gives blood its red color. The normal range of hemoglobin is approximately 14 to 17 grams per deciliter for men and 12 to 16 grams per deciliter for women. A low hemoglobin count indicates a low red blood cell count (anemia). Anemia can have many causes.
