(Erythrocyte): The blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of the body and are responsible for the red color of blood.

The component of blood that delivers oxygen to body tissues.

Blood constituents which carry oxygen in hemoglobin, a pigment which gives blood its red colour.

See Red Blood Cell.

RBCs are a part of the body's blood that contains hemoglobin and carries oxygen to all the cells and tissues of the body.

Help carry oxygen through the body.

The part of the blood that carries oxygen to tissues.

Cells of the blood that transport oxygen to the tissues.

transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.

also known as erythrocytes; cells that contain hemoglobin to transport oxygen.

blood cells that contain hemoglobin, the substance that carries oxygen to other tissues of the body.

Also called erythrocytes, RBCs supply oxygen to all cells in the body by means of hemoglobin, a protein.

Red blood cells (RBCs) transport oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. Their production is stimulated by erythropoietin, secretion of which is controlled by the blood oxygen tension. Erythropoietin stimulates maturation of RBC precursors in bone marrow into mature RBCs. Blood loss, parasitism, renal failure, RBC damage, chronic inflammatory disease, hematopoietic malignancies and insufficient dietary iron, copper or vitamin B12 cause a deficiency of RBCs (anemia). Shock, fluid loss or increased RBC production can cause increased RBC numbers (polycythemia). Dehydration or protein fluid extravasation causes a relative decrease in the fluid portion of the blood and a relative increase in the cellular portion. Carbon monoxide, lung disease, heart disease and high altitude cause excessive RBC production by stimulating erythropoietin secretion. Erythrocytic malignancies and polycythemia vera cause excessive RBC production without normal stimulation.

A type of cell in the body that carries oxygen to the body’s tissues.

(erythrocytes; RBC) - cells that carry oxygen throughout the body (measured by the hematocrit or HCT).

Cells that contain hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.

The cells in the blood that contain hemoglobin (the blood’s red pigment) and carry oxygen.

The blood cell which contains haemoglobin and carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. A low level of red cells is called anaemia.

Cells carrying oxygen to all parts of the body (erythrocytes).

Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In HUS, red blood cells are shredded faster than the body can replace them, so the body struggles to get oxygen to all necessary parts.

Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes) serve two important functions: 1. Carry oxygen from the lungs to cells in all parts of the body. Oxygen helps cells obtain energy from food. 2. Take carbon dioxide back to the lungs from the cells; carbon dioxide is released as a waste product of cell processes

blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body

Cells in the blood that bring oxygen to tissues and take carbon dioxide from them.

The blood cells that carry oxygen. Red cells contain hemoglobin and it is the hemoglobin which permits them to transport oxygen (and carbon dioxide). Hemoglobin, aside from being a transport molecule, is a pigment. It gives the cells their red color (and their name). See the entire definition of Red blood cells

Blood cells that contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Red blood cells also carry carbon dioxide (a waste product) from your body back to your lungs so you can breathe it out.

These carry oxygen around the body. Haemoglobin is the colouring matter of the red cells.

Cells found in the blood which carry oxygen from the lungs around the body. If a person doesn't have enough red blood cells, they have anaemia.

these are cells in the blood that carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and then carry carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs

Blood cells that carry oxygen to the cells throughout your body.

Blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body and give blood its red color. They are transfused to people who fail to produce their own, or have severe bleeding or a low blood count.

The normal blood cells that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Cells that carry oxygen to your tissues.

One of the cells of the blood, which, in mammals, are non-nucleated disks concave on both sides, containing hemoglobin and carrying oxygen to the cells and tissues and carbon dioxide back to the respiratory organs. ABC DEFGHIJK LM NOPQR STUVWXYZ

Small, hemoglobin-filled blood cells that carry oxygen to the body's tissues.

A concave disk containing hemoglobin surrounded by a lipoid membrane. It is the major cellular element of the circulating blood and it serves primarily to transport oxygen. The number of red blood cells is about 4 and 4.5 million per cubic millimeter in women (4.5 and 5 million per cubic millimeter in men). The average lifespan of a red blood cell is between 110 and 115 days after which it is removed from the bloodstream. New red blood cells are produced at about the rate of 1% daily to keep levels constant. Red blood cells originate in the marrow of long bones. Also called erythrocytes.

Blood cells that contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our body. Red blood cells also carry carbon dioxide (a waste product) from our body back to our lungs so we can breathe it out. more...

RBCs are mature red blood cells and are also known as erythrocytes; RBCs are responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood to organs and tissues. Cells produced in the bone marrow, containing hemoglobin, that carry oxygen to all parts of the body, providing energy needed for normal activities; when an insufficient number of red blood cells is produced, hemoglobin levels drop and the blood is no longer able to carry enough oxygen to nourish the body's tissues.

blood cells which carry oxygen attached to haemoglobin.

Red blood cells carry hemoglobin and deliver oxygen throughout the body. A reduced number of red blood cells, or a shortened life span of these cells, can lead to anemia.

Also called erythrocytes, red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which enables them to carry oxygen throughout the body.

Cells in the blood that carry oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. A low red blood cell count can make you feel tired.

main function is to transport oxygen to all the tissues in the body.

Cells that carry oxygen throughout the body (also called erythrocytes).

These are just one of the types of cells that can be found in our blood. They carry oxygen around our bodies.

These are the cells in the blood which contain haemoglobin. As blood flows through the lungs the haemoglobin combines with oxygen which is carried around the body in the red blood cells. Oxygen is released to body cells for use in respiration.
