I know of oxyhaemogloblin , the mixture of oxygen and haemoglobin , but carbon and haemoglobin combination is what's confusing

  • $\begingroup$ Carbon and hemoglobin??? Hemoglobin is made of carbon and other elements; it doesn't transport it. Do you mean CO or CO2 perhaps? $\endgroup$

I'm going to agree with the comment left by @anongoodnurse and assume you are looking for the terms that define CO2 + hemoglobin and CO + hemoglobin.

CO2 + hemoglobin = Carbaminohemoglobin

CO + hemoglobin = Carboxyhemoglobin
