👉 Hematocryal is a scientific term that refers to a type of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells, which are essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Heme molecules consist of iron and carbon dioxide, so they bind to oxygen and release it as carbon dioxide when it binds to hemoglobin. Hematocryal is a specific form of hemoglobin that has been identified in certain species of fish, such as salmon and cod.
