Red blood cells are the most abundant cells in human blood. Their primary function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. In men, there are an average of 5 million RBCs per cubic millimeter and in women there are an average of 4 million RBCs per cubic millimeter.

Why is it important for blood to be delivered to every cell in your body?

Blood is a transport fluid. It mainly transports oxygenated blood (blood containing oxygen) from the heart around the body to every cell. Carbon dioxide, which is a waste produced in cellular respiration, is removed from the cell into the blood, and replaced with oxygen. The carbon dioxide is then transported in deoxygenated blood (blood containing carbon dioxide) towards the heart and lungs (through veins) to be expelled from the body. So basically, blood must be delivered to cells in the body to supply oxygen for cellular activities, supply essential nutrients to the cell, and remove waste products (such as carbon dioxide) from the cell.
