Question: How is oxygen released into tissues by Red Blood Cells?
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) transport oxygen to the tissues by binding and carrying oxygen molecules on the surface of the cell. Oxygen is released from RBCs by diffusion, a process whereby oxygen molecules pass from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The diffusion of oxygen from RBCs into the tissue takes place across their cell membranes, and is mediated by specialised proteins called haemoglobin.
