oxyhemoglobin transports oxygen to the cells of the body
The oxyhemoglobin has significantly lower absorption of the 660 nm wavelength than deoxyhemoglobin, while at 940 nm its absorption is slightly higher.
Oxygen saturation In general, hemoglobin can be saturated with oxygen molecules (oxyhemoglobin), or desaturated with oxygen molecules (deoxyhemoglobin).
Transport of hydrogen ions Some oxyhemoglobin loses oxygen and becomes deoxyhemoglobin.
Deoxyhemoglobin binds most of the hydrogen ions as it has a much greater affinity for more hydrogen than does oxyhemoglobin.
