Where does blood get oxygen from?
Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.
How do red blood cells form?
Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis. Hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow differentiate and mature into red blood cells under the influence of the hormone erythropoietin. These red blood cells then enter circulation to transport oxygen throughout the body.

What blood cell carries glucose and fats?

White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
What is the type of marrow that are the most blood cells produced?
Red and white blood cells.
What is the difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
