the red blood cells carry carbon dioxide and oxygen that it gets from the lungs when you breath.the blood gets its color from when the red blood cells pick up the oxygen.
oh and by the way red blood cells are also called erthrocytes
Carbon dioxide is primarily carried in the bloodstream in the form of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the plasma. However, a small amount of carbon dioxide is also carried bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Arteries don't always carry blood that is high in oxygen. The term artery is an anatomical term. All blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are arteries. All blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are veins. Most arteries do carry blood that's high in oxygen but there is an exception. When the arteries carry blood to the lungs, this blood is low in oxygen. The veins that carry the blood back to the heart from the lungs is high in oxygen. This is called the pulmonary circuit. In this more or less seems backwards. It's best to remember that arteries carry blood away from the heart.
The primary function of white blood cells is to fight infection. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues, and carbon dioxide as a waste product away from the tissues and back to the lungs.
Veins are the main structures of the circulatory system that carry blood containing carbon dioxide from the body back to the heart. The pulmonary veins are particularly responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
No, platelets do not carry gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. Platelets are small blood cells that help with clotting and wound healing, but they do not have a role in transporting gases in the bloodstream. Oxygen is primarily carried by red blood cells, and carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in various forms, including dissolved in plasma and bound to hemoglobin.

your red blood cells carry oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide out
They do carry oxygen to the body and brain, and they also carry Carbon Dioxide back to the lungs so the lungs can exhale the Carbon Dioxide.
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, carry carbon dioxide away from the tissues to the lungs where it is exhaled.
They do carry oxygen to the body and brain, and they also carry Carbon Dioxide back to the lungs so the lungs can exhale the Carbon Dioxide.
Blood carries carbon dioxide out of cells.
Carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, carry carbon dioxide away from the tissues to the lungs where it is exhaled.
Red blood cells carry carbon dioxide away from tissues to the lungs for exhalation.
