What controls RBC production?
Red blood cell production, also called erythropoiesis, is mainly stimulated by a protein hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). Other factors, including cytokines like the colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are also important.
What is the other name for RBC's?
Erythrocytes are another name for red blood cells.
What is the hormone that stimulates RBC formation?
The production of red blood cells is stimulated by erythropoietin, which is produced in the kidneys.The production of white blood cells is stimulated by mainly colony-stimulating factor, which is produced by endothelial cells and marrow fibroblasts.The production of platelets is stimulated by thrombopoietin, which is produced in the liver and kidneys.
What is RBC in hematology test?
RBC is red blood cells or red blood count.
If a cell lives in hypotonic environment what will happen if placed in hypertonic environment?
If a cell is used to living in a hypotonic environment, that means that there exists less solute concentration outside of the cell. Take, for example, a red blood cell (RBC). When the RBC is placed in distilled water, the RBC is hypertonic to the water. The water is hypotonic to the RBC. In this case, the RBC will swell, and in most cases rupture. However, if one were to put an RBC in very salty water, the RBC would be hypotonic to the salt water. The salt water would be a hypertonic environment. In this case, the water would diffuse out of the RBC, causing it to shrivel. Awigman
How would the process of red blood cell production be affected by constricting the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys?
The kidneys would pick up low RBC by detecting low 02. The kidneys would then stimulate epo production to make more RBC. This will in turn cause polycythemia (too much RBC).

RBC production is regulated by what hormone?
The volume number of RBC refers to the number of blood cells in each cubic millimeter of blood. This number is determined by the erythropoietin hormone.
How does defective Hexose monophosphate shunt results in increase of RBC fagility?
The Hexose monophophate shunt is involved in the production of Glutathione, this molecule helps relieve the oxidative stress that RBC come under from carrying O2. with out this anti oxident RBC can be damaged.
