Erythrocytes (red blood cells or RBCs) are anucleate, biconcave cells, filled with hemoglobin, that transport oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and tissues They are produced in the red bone marrow by a process called erythropoiesis
- 18. 3 Erythrocytes – Anatomy Physiology
The erythrocyte, commonly known as a red blood cell (or RBC), is by far the most common formed element: A single drop of blood contains millions of erythrocytes and only thousands of leukocytes (Figure 18 3 1)
- Red blood cell | Definition, Functions, Facts | Britannica
red blood cell, cellular component of blood, millions of which in the circulation of vertebrates give the blood its characteristic colour and carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues The mature human red blood cell is small, round, and biconcave; it appears dumbbell-shaped in profile
- Erythrocyte Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary
Erythrocytes (red blood cells or RBCs) are the myeloid series of specialized cells that play an integral role in the circulatory system They are highly specialized, biconcave-shaped, and rich in a red pigment called hemoglobin
- Erythrocyte | definition of erythrocyte by Medical dictionary
In humans the normal mature erythrocyte is a biconcave disk without a nucleus, about 7 7 micrometers in diameter, consisting mainly of hemoglobin and a supporting framework called the stroma
- Red Blood Cell - The Definitive Guide | Biology Dictionary
The red blood cell or erythrocyte is an unusual, unique, and highly differentiated cell without organelles or the ability to divide The erythrocyte is central to body physiology as it is responsible for oxygen transport through the bloodstream
- Definition of erythrocyte - NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms
Erythrocytes contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body
- Erythrocyte | Complete Anatomy - Elsevier
An erythrocyte is one of the elements found in peripheral blood; the normal mature form is a nonnucleated, yellowish, biconcave disk, adapted by virtue of its configuration and its haemoglobin content to the transport of oxygen (Dorland, 2011) Erythrocytes are small red biconcave discoid cells
