they come from the bone marrow
Erythrocytes are one of the formed elements of blood. They carry gases throughout the body. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
They do not have a nucleus. RBC carry oxygen to body.
Red (erythrocytes)White (leukocytes)Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the most abundant of the formed elements of the blood. The other formed elements are leukocytes (white blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets).erythrocytes (red blood cells)Erythrocytes (red blood cells or RBCs)platelets, for about 250,000-500,000 per mm3 of blood.
red blood cell (erythrocytes), white blood cell (leukocytes), and platelets
The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Thrombocytes are the formed element that is actually a cell fragment. Platelets are important in blood clotting.
Red cells - erythrocytes White cells - lymphocytes Platelets - thrombocytes
Formed elements that arise from myeloid stem cells include erythrocytes (red blood cells), megakaryocytes (platelets), granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils), and monocytes (which differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells).
The only formed elements that are not spherical are red blood cells (erythrocytes) which are biconcave in shape, and platelets (thrombocytes) which are irregularly shaped discs. Both of these cell types play important roles in the body's functions such as oxygen transport (red blood cells) and blood clotting (platelets).
