Red blood cells (RBCs) are the oxygen-carrying cells in circulation in the body. RBCs contain the molecule hemoglobin that can bind oxygen (O2) and transport it all over the body. Anemia is lack of sufficient RBCs (and hemoglobin) to carry enough O2. You get tired easily, have muscle weakness, and your heart struggles. Your bone marrow will produce more RBCs that need more hemoglobin to fill them. Hemoglobin has iron in the center that binds to the O2. So you need RBC production from the bone marrow and iron intake from the diet to produce more O2-carrying capacity. This causes your RBC count, the number of RBCs in circulation per unit volume, to increase. RBC count is called the Red Cell Count (RCC). RCC in cells/femtoliter = hematocrit divided by mean corpuscular volume in femtoliters per cell.
