The Erythrocytes

ABOUT THE ERYTHROCYTES

Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells (RBCs) are the most common type of blood cell and are responsible for delivering oxygen from the lungs to tissues through the circulatory system. RBC cytoplasm contains hemoglobin, a molecule containing iron to bind oxygen and give cells and blood their red color. They have an oval biconcave disk shape and lack a nucleus. Approximately 2.4 million new RBCs are created each second in the bone marrow. Cells circulate for 100-200 days before they are broken down and disposed of. They make up almost half of the blood’s volume and 84% of total cells in the human body.
