Do red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the cells in the human body?

No - not really anyhow. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by breathing in air. The lungs function as an exchange system which loads up the red blood cells with oxygen. So lungs give oxygen to red blood cells which then deliver the oxygen to all the parts of the body.

What structure in the leg of a human is found to carry oxygen-rich blood cells?
Its carries "oxygen rich blood" away from the heart.
If human blood did not contain red blood cells it would not be able to carry what?
Oxygen, CO2 and other waste
What human cell does not have nuclei?
Red blood cells have no nucleus. This allows them more space to carry oxygen.
What makes human red blood cells different from the other human cells?

What takes oxygen to all the cells in your body?
In case of human being you have red blood cells in your blood. They contain haemoglobin. This can carry seventy times more oxygen than plasma can carry. ( Say about 280 ml/ 100 ml of blood.) The bonding of oxygen is strong enough to hold the oxygen at lungs and to carry it in blood. Here the oxygen concentration is high. This bonding is loose enough to give oxygen at proximal end of the capillaries. Here oxygen concentration is low. This oxygen is carried through the interstitial fluid to the cells.
What happens if a structure in the shoulder of a human is found to carry oxygen-rich red blood cells?
it carries blood toward the fingers apex
What blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood to cells?
Oxygen gets delivered to the body by pumping through the heart and lungs and going on to the capillaries to trade co2 with oxygen. Nutrients get delivered to our body's cells the same way except food is involved.
What two chemicals do red blood cells transport in human bodies?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the parts of the body that need it, and return carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled.
How many months can this red blood cells used?
Human red blood cells function for an average of 120 days, or about 4 months. After this the red blood cells are too damaged to carry oxygen effectively and are broken down.
What is the reason for including iron in the human diet?
In order to promote the development of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.
