Old red blood cells are caught by your spleen. Spleen separates the hem from globulin. Hem is recycles to get iron and used to make fresh hem. You get the bilirubin in this process, which is excreted by your liver, after conjugation.
Blood cells include mostly Red Blood Corpuscles which also circulate through the spleen. The spleen contains specialised cells which break down the RBCs, which contain haemoglobin made up of protein and iron.
The iron is stored as ferritin and transferin in the liver for future manufacture of haemoglobin.
The protein is mostly excreted, with a bit of it being sent into the gall bladder to be stored as biliverdin and bilirubin. That's why the spleen is called the "graveyard of blood cells".
Macrophages in the spleen, liver and red bone marrow phagocytize the worn out RBCs. The heme and globin portions are split apart. The globin is broken down into its amino acid components to be used for other proteins. The iron is removed from the heme portion where it is eventually transported back to the red bone marrow to be incorporated into new RBCs. The non-iron portion of heme goes through a series of chemical conversions that eventually end up as stercobilin in the large intestine which is what gives feces its characteristic brown color.
Blood does not go any where, when you die. It remains stagnated in your cardiovascular system. It get clotted, only to go for autolysis like most body cells. After autolysis it becomes thin liquid.
Red blood cells do not have nucleus and so they do not go any where, to die off. When red blood cells are old, they are caught by your spleen. The life span of red blood cells, is about 120 days.
Red blood cells die in the bloodstream. They are then broken down to recover the iron in them and the residual, after some changes, is eventually released as bile out of the gall bladder into the digestive system.
When a red blood cell dies after about 120 days, it is sent to the spleen where it's components are recycled.
they get destroyed by the spleen and so eliminated form the body!
Old red blood cells are identified by spleen and then selectively killed. Life of red blood cells is about 120 days.
and a red blood cell or in a red blood cell? if its in a red blood cell i would say haemoglobin
The red blood cell, or more accurately, the hemoglobin molecule within the RBC
phagocytosis
I Don't Know but it's either the red blood cell, white blood cell, platelet, or plasma.its the platelet
A red blood cell placed in a concentrated sugar solution will shrink and wrinkle. The red blood cell is hypotonic and the concentrated sugar solution is hypertonic. Water will rush out of the cell causing diffusion leading to the cell's shrinking.
The red blood cell will become turgid because water will move from the glucose solution to the red blood cell.
Nothing happens to the white blood cells in an anemic patient. It is the red blood cell count that goes down.
Nowhere special, it just dies in the body, and is replaced when it does.

what happens when red blood cell dies after about three months
and a red blood cell or in a red blood cell? if its in a red blood cell i would say haemoglobin
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
a red blood cell is red when it reaches oxegen.
red blood cells are a type of cell
It shrinks as water moves out of the cell.
its is the red blood cell on our body.
Blood contains red blood cells. Red blood cells don't contain blood. Blood does not enter the red blood cell.
