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). The abbreviation for red blood cells is RBCs. Red blood cells are sometime simply [..]

Also known as erythrocytes. Cells found in the blood that contain hemoglobin and carry oxygen to and carbon dioxide from body tissues.

Cell specialised for oxygen transport, having a high concentration of haemoglobin in the cytoplasm.

Cells that supply oxygen to tissues throughout the body.

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

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

Synonyms: erythrocytes Definition: Cells that carries oxygen to all parts of the body through hemoglobin. In this micro-photo of blood cells, platelets are stained purple. A T-Lymphocyte white cell is [..]

Red blood cells have the important job of carrying oxygen. These cells, which float in your blood, begin their journey in the lungs, where they pick up oxygen from the air you breathe. Then they trave [..]

Cells that are made in the bone marrow and circulate within the blood vessels, supplying oxygen to tissues throughout the body. RBCs are also called erythrocytes. | ↑ Back to Top

Red Blood Cells. Mature erythrocytes are non-nucleated, biconcave disks containing Hemoglobin whose function is to transport Oxygen.

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

disk-shaped blood cells that carry oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells of the body

Blood cells that contain haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.

Cells present in the blood which carry oxygen to the other cells in the body.

These blood cells transport oxygen around the body.

 These cells carry oxygen around the body; also known as ‘erythrocytes’

disc-shaped cells containing hemoglobin, which enables the cells to pick up and deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. Rh Factor

Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes) serve two important functions:Carry oxygen from the lungs to cells in all parts of the body. Oxygen helps cells obtain energy from food.

Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes or RBCs) serve two important functions: they carry oxygen from the lungs to cells in all parts of the body and take carbon dioxide back to the lungs from the [..]

cells that carry oxygen throughout the body; the volume of these cells is measured in a unit called a hematocrit or HCT White Blood Cells

 Cells that supply oxygen to tissues throughout the body.

One of three types of cells found in the blood. They carry oxygen around the body. Also called erythrocytes.
