Red blood cells
The hematocrit is also called the erythrocyte volume fraction, which is the percentage by volume of red blood cells in the blood. Erythrocyte is another name for the red blood cell in humans, so the higher the count, the larger the hematocrit.
reticulocytes
A red blood cell. Scientific name, Erythrocyte
red blood cells are also called erythrocytes
Reticulocyte is larger than erythrocyte
The mean corpuscular volume is the measure that determines the average size of an erythrocyte. The erythrocyte is what is commonly known as red blood cells.
A red blood cell that (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus. Erythrocytes contain the pigment hemoglobin, which imparts the red color to blood, and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the tissues.
The importance of hemoglobin for erythrocyte function is that it gives them oxygen carrying abilities. Without hemoglobin, the erythrocyte would be unable to carry and transport oxygen where it needs to go.
