Red Blood Cells

Red Blood Cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes, are the most abundant type of blood cells and are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues and carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. They contain a protein called haemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and gives blood its red colour. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, have a lifespan of about 120 days, and are continuously replaced by the body. A normal RBC count is essential for maintaining healthy body function, while a low RBC count can lead to anaemia, causing fatigue and weakness, and a high RBC count may be associated with dehydration or certain medical conditions.
