Best Answer

Red blood cells don't get as far as the brain itself; they do enter the head, and provide oxygen to the cerebro-spinal fluid in which the brain bathes. What you should understand about red blood cells and the brain is that the brain is an unusually delicate organ, in which a red blood cell can actually get in the way of the normal function of the brain, by intruding into a nerve synapse. That is why the brain does not use blood directly, as other organs do.
