Blood cells that contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin binds oxygen when red cells pass through the lung and releases it to the tissues of the body. The red cells make up a little less than half the volume of blood in healthy individuals.
Blood cells that contain hemoglobin, which binds oxygen and carries it to the tissues of the body. The red cells make up about 45 percent of the volume of the blood in healthy individuals.
The cells which contain hemoglobin and carry oxygen to all parts of the body.
Short for red blood cells, the oxygen/carbon dioxide carrying cells in blood. Also known acronymically as RBC's, red corpuscles or erythrocytes (literally, red hollow vessels).
Red blood cells (RBC) are cellular elements contained in whole blood that are erythrocytes directly responsible for the transport of oxygen in the bloodstream and indirectly responsible for carbon dioxide transport.
Blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In healthy people, red blood cells make up almost half of the blood.
Red cells are one of the components of blood along with platelets, plasma and white cells. Red cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body. An insufficient amount of red cells can result in anemia.
Blood cells (erythrocytes) which appear as biconcave disks, lack nuclei and comprise the largest number of cells of the formed elements of whole Blood. Red cells transport oxygen to body cells and remove carbon dioxide. Red cells contain iron in the hemoglobin.
