What is the medical term meaning all white blood cell red blood cell and platelets are low?
A red blood cell is an erythrocyte, while a white blood cell is a leukocyte.Red Blood Cells: ErythrocytesWhite Blood Cells: LeucocytesWhite blood cells are called - Leukocyte's and Red blood cells are also known erythrocytes =) hope this helped
Do all cells work exactly the same?
No there are white blood cells, red blood cells, (and I'm not sure if there are others) and they all have different purposes and jobs. white blood cells protect red blood cells from getting infected. if a red blood cell is infected then the white blood cells get rid of it.
How does the oxygen you inhale get to all of your blood cells?
It enters the bloodstream through the capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen is then transported by the blood to all of the body cells by a protein in the red blood cells called hemoglobin that binds oxygen with a capacity of 1.34 mL O2 per gram of hemoglobin.
Where are Red blood cells white blood cells and platelets are found?
All the three are found in the blood.
Blood cells are produced in?
The production of blood cells is called hematopoeisis, and it is the process by which all the different blood cells are formed from a single kind of hematopoeitic stem cell. All of the body's blood cells start out in medullary portion of bone--the marrow--except in some fetal stages and in some disease states, where blood cells can be produced in the liver and spleen (this is called extramedullary hematopoeisis). Most of the cells produced in the bone marrow mature into their final forms in the bone marrow, but some white blood cells finish maturation in the thymus. The stem cells and their progeny (daughter cells) receive various stimuli in the form of chemicals that contact them that "push" them in the direction of forming whatever blood cells the body happens to need.
What are all the cells present in blood?
Those are called red blood cells.
What is deficiency of all blood cells called?
pancytopenia
What do you call the smaller cells in your blood stream?
the answer is the join of all sources coming together is called blood holes and then comes the smaller cells in your blood stream is called ''piegopheres''
Do blood cells undergo meiosis?
no. only the cells in the gonads which are to become gametes undergo mitosis. blood cells, like all cells but gamete cells are called somatic and only divide by mitosis.

What are the defense cells found throughout your blood called?
There are seven main types of white blood cell:NeutrophilsEosinophilsBasophilsLymphocytesMonocytesMacrophagesDendritic cellsSome of these are further divded into subtypes, which all have separate tasks in the body. For example, lymphocytes include B-cells, T-cells (which itself has some subsubtypes) and NK-cells. For further detail on and explanations of what each type does, see the related links.
What are the parts of the blood and what are their functions?
There are 3 main groups of cells in the blood; erythrocytes (red blood cells,) leukocytes (white blood cells,) and thrombocytes (platelet cells.) Erythrocytes carry oxygen to all of the parts of the body. Leukocytes fight germs in the blood and lymph. Thrombocytes stick together to form a clot when a person is bleeding. The liquid part of the blood where all of the cells float in is called plasma.
What are the different types of blood cells and their study and fuctions?
There are three kinds of blood cells, red, white, and plasm blood cells. Also called eurythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes. They all originate from a pluripotent stem cell.
What is red blood cell production called?
Blood doesn't really produce anything. Red Blood cells carries oxygen to all the cells. White blood cells help fight off infections.
What is it called when all of your blood cell levels are depressed?
leukopenia is a reduction in white cells
The red pigment in the blood cells can combine with large amounts of oxygen?
The blood cells are called hemoglobin. The hemoglobin transport oxygen from the lungs to all other parts of the body.
what part of the blood cells carry food nutrients and oxygen to all cells?
The blood plasma contains the red blood cells which carries the food nutrients and oxygen to all the cells.
