Source sentences:
text: It combines with hemoglobin to produce carboxyhemoglobin, by binding to the site in hemoglobin that normally carries oxygen, leaving it ineffective for delivering oxygen to bodily tissues.
text: It combines with hemoglobin -- the red component of your blood which transports oxygen to your cells -- and prevents oxygen from being circulated.
text: When CO is breathed in, it reacts with the hemoglobin in red blood cells forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it reacts with hemoglobin, the red blood pigment that normally carries oxygen to all parts of the body.
text: When inhaled it combines with the hemoglobin … of the red blood cells (Offner, Fundamentals of Chemistry).
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin (an iron-protein component of red blood cells), producing carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which greatly diminishes hemoglobin’s oxygen-carrying capacity.
text: This carbon monoxide also combines with hemoglobin to make carboxyhemoglobin, but not at toxic levels.
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin (an iron-protein component of red blood cells), producing carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which greatly diminishes hemoglobin’s oxygen-carrying capacity.
text: Carbon monoxide is poisonous when inhaled because it combines with hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying substance in red blood cells.
