Nothing as erythrocytes (i.e. red blood cells) are never"pumped into cells". They stay inside the blood vessels, circulating around and around.

How does oxygen reach the body's cells?
Through the blood. Oxygen is drawn in by the lungs, binds to hemoglobin proteins within erythrocytes (aka red blood cells), and the erythrocytes are then pumped by the heart throughout the body, supplying all cells with oxygen.
How does the oxygen in the alveoli get to the body cells?
Oxygen in the alveoli is picked up by hemoglobin in erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the capillaries of an alveolus. The erythrocytes then travel back to the heart through the pulmonary vein and gets pumped to the rest of the body through the left atrium, left ventricle, and the aorta.
What is the function of erythrocytes animal cells?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) carry oxygen to other cells..
What transports oxygen throughout the body?
Red blood cells.Red blood cells (erythrocytes): they contain hemoglobin which carries the oxygen
What will some stem cells become if they mature into erythrocytes?
If stem cells mature into erythrocytes (red blood cells), they will become specialized for oxygen transport in the body. Erythrocytes are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the tissues and organs, as well as removing carbon dioxide waste. They have a unique biconcave shape and lack a nucleus to maximize their capacity for oxygen-carrying.
What blood cells transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Erythrocytes aka red blood cells, specifically the hemoglobin of the red blood cells
Does leukocytes carry oxygen?
No, erythrocytes (red blood cells) transport oxygen throughout the body, not leukocytes (white blood cells)
Why erythrocytes and platelets are not true cells?
They do not have a nucleus. RBC carry oxygen to body.
What are erythrocytes and what do they contain?
Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells) - specialized for oxygen transport - mature erythrocytes have no nucleus instead these disk - shaped cells are packed with the respiratory pigment Hemoglobin *Hemoglobin is an iron containing molecule that binds with oxygen
What leukocyte transports oxygen?
None. Leukocytes are white blood cells which mostly fight infection. Oxygen is carried by erythrocytes (red blood cells).
Tiny biconcave disks that carry oxygen is called?
red blood cells or erythrocytes
What is the main job of the erythrocytes in the blood?
The erythrocytes, or red blood cells as they are more commonly known as, transport oxygen to the body's cells and extract the carbon dioxide and send it to the lungs to be excreted.
