RBC: 120 days Platelets: 8 - 12 days
These have a lifespan of 120 days?
We need more information to answer your question fully, however a red blood cell does have a life span around 100-120 days. But there are millions of organisms that might also have a 120 day life span.
How long does a erythrocyte function?
They have a limited life span of about 120 days.

What is the lifespan of platelets?
A human red blood cell... 100 to 120 days. Other (smaller) mammal's red blood cells... a little less than half that of a human's. A human white blood cell... 13 to 20 days. A human's t-cells... appears to be on the order of a year (or more). A mouse's native alpha or beta t-cell... a minimum of 8 weeks.
Do red blood cells have nuclei and how does this affect the lifespan of the cell?
The nuceli is ejected after the cell is formed. This affects not the life span, but the ability to make energy. The life span of a red blood cell is 120 days.
The life span of a red blood cell is?
A sickled red blood cell will live for 10 to 20 days before it is destroyed. A normal red blood cell would have lived for about 120 days. This is the cause of the anaemia in sickle cell anaemia patients, who typically live for about 45 years.
How is platelets transported?
Similarly to Red blood cells, Platelets are collected from bone marrow, transported via diffusion and then destroyed in the spleen 120 days later.
Are blood cells capable of renewing themselves?
Red blood cells (RBCs) have a life span of 120 days. More are always being made.
