A normal healthy white blood cell lives for approximately 12 hours. Whereas a healthy red blood cell lives for about 90 days. Although blood is produced from healthy bone marrow and constantly producing new red and white blood cells.
Rise and shine
All cells start out life as a stem cell which, rather like a child progressing through school to college and university, must decide what to be when they grow up. The ones that choose to be red blood cells (RBCs) ditch their DNA as they mature in the bone marrow, a process which takes about 48 hours.
Mid-morning
Rather than stopping for elevenses, RBCs would rather do their morning exercises. They are extremely flexible, and because of their biconcave disc shape (a bit like a donut without the hole fully pierced) they can bend and twist to fit through the tiniest of capillaries. This clever shape also provides the biggest possible surface area for diffusion of gas into and out of the blood.
Lunch time
Favourite foods for red blood cells include spinach, broccoli and red meat, or anything with a high iron content. They use the iron in these foods to make haemoglobin - the molecule which binds oxygen and carbon dioxide. Each cell contains 270 million molecules of haemoglobin; these are what give blood that delightful red hue. If we don't eat enough iron, we can't make enough haemoglobin, which can lead to anaemia.
Afternoon
After all that eating, it's time for the RBCs to get down to some serious work. Their day job involves picking up deliveries of oxygen from the lungs, navigating the maze of arteries and capillaries to reach their destination, our body tissues, and then unloading the goods. They even pick up the carbon dioxide that is produced as a by-product of chemical reactions and ferry it via our veins back to the lungs to be exhaled.
Goodnight
Red blood cells certainly adhere to the 'live fast, die young' philosophy. After about 120 days, they are destroyed in the liver, the spleen or in the bone marrow itself. But worry not! There are 2 million new little O2 couriers being made every second, ready to take up the mantle of keeping us alive.
The average life span of a red blood cell is 120 days. Many red blood cells are removed from circulation each day, but the number of cells in circulation remains stable.
This process is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms.
lifespan of the white blood cell is 30 days and lifespan of the red blood cell is 120 days
The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system.
White blood cells life span is 10 hours to decades
They have sex with eachother.
30 days
Red blood cells are primarily involved in gas transport, specifically oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body.
A sickled red blood cell will live for 10 to 20 days before it is destroyed. A normal red blood cell would have lived for about 120 days. This is the cause of the anaemia in sickle cell anaemia patients, who typically live for about 45 years.
The color of a red blood cell is dark red when it is deoxygenated.
it is stuff in your blood
Red blood cell
Respiration
The nuceli is ejected after the cell is formed. This affects not the life span, but the ability to make energy. The life span of a red blood cell is 120 days.
what role the liver play in the life cycle of red blood cells
and a red blood cell or in a red blood cell? if its in a red blood cell i would say haemoglobin
the clumped red blood cell hemolyze
Red blood cells are primarily involved in gas transport, specifically oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body.
It is an important component of Erythropoiesis, or erythrocyte formation. In the life cycle of the red blood cell, it is actually a reticulocyte that leaves the bone marrow and circulates for a day or so until it loses its rRNA and becomes a mature red blood cell, or erythrocyte.
to the heart to be pumped around the body
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
A sickled red blood cell will live for 10 to 20 days before it is destroyed. A normal red blood cell would have lived for about 120 days. This is the cause of the anaemia in sickle cell anaemia patients, who typically live for about 45 years.
It can be as low as 4 days.
a red blood cell is red when it reaches oxegen.
