a mature blood cell that contains hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the bodily tissues; a biconcave disc that has no nucleus
The yellowish, non-nucleated, disk-shaped blood cell that contains hemoglobin and is responsible for the color of blood.
A red blood cell; contains hemoglobin, which functions in transporting oxygen in the circulatory system.
Red blood cell characterized by complete lack of a nucleus and other intracellular organelles and a biconcave morphology.
The red blood cell that carries oxygen to the body cells and carbon dioxide away from body cells.
red blood cell originating from the bone marrow that carry hemoglobin throughout the body.
A red blood cell. These cells carry oxygen to body cells and carbon dioxide away from body cells.
the red blood cell that carries oxygen to the cells and carries carbon dioxide away from them.
A type of red blood cell.
A cell that carries oxygen to all parts of the body. Also called a red blood cell (RBC).
(ur rith´ row sight) [Gr. erythros: red + kytos: hollow vessel] • A red blood cell.
(red blood cell, BC) - a very small circular biconcave cell produced in the bone marrow and found in the blood stream; contains hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to body tissues.
A red blood cell. Erythrocytes are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.
(eh-RIHTH-ro-sit) A synonym for red blood cell.
A red blood cell. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to body tissues and carries carbon dioxide away from them.
Term for a red blood cell.
red blood cell containing hemoglobin and transporting oxygen.
An erythrocyte is more commonly known as a red blood cell, which is the most numerous type of blood cell. Erythrocytes contain the red pigment hemoglobin and are responsible for oxygen transport. In humans, the number of erythrocytes in the blood varies between 4.5 and 5.5 million per cubic millimeter. They survive for about four months and are then destroyed in the spleen and liver.
Red blood cell, the carrier of oxygen in the blood
A red blood cell; has no nucleus and contains large quantities of hemoglobin.
A red blood cell, the most numerous cell type in the blood. Mature cells do not have nuclei and are about 7.5 microns in diameter.
A red blood cell, or corpuscle. One for the formed elements in peripheral blood. In most mammals mature erythrocytes are biconcave discs that have no nuclei. The cell consists mainly of haemoglobin. Erythrocyte formation takes place in the red bone marrow in the adult and in the liver spleen and bone marrow in the fetus.
A blood cell, also known as a red blood cell, that transports oxygen to and carries carbon dioxide from every part of the body.
Small biconcave blood cell that contains hemoglobin, transports O2 and CO2 to and from the tissues of vertebrates and (in mammals) lacks a nucleus.
The red blood cells. They carry oxygen to tissue.
