What is the significance of RBC in lab results?

RBC (red blood cell) count is a measure of the number of red blood cells in the blood. It provides information about a person's oxygen-carrying capacity and overall blood health. Abnormalities in RBC count can indicate conditions such as anemia or polycythemia.


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 RBC in biology?

RBC stands for red blood cell, which is a type of cell found in the blood responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and helps transport it to tissues. RBCs are produced in the bone marrow and have a lifespan of about 120 days.


What are oxygen-carrying blood cells?

Red blood cells carry oxygen to the rest of the body. Red blood cells are also called erythrocytes, or abbreviated RBC. Each red blood cell (RBC) contains a protein called hemoglobin. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind up to four oxygen molecules to it.These are the red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes. They are one of the very few cell types in the human which do not contain a nucleus (in healthy individuals). 95% of their protein content is haemoglobin, the protein which is responsible for binding oxygen.red blood cellsllamasEdited answer:Red Blood Cells (RBC)red blood cell


What is RBC in hematology test?

RBC stands for red blood cell. It is a component of the complete blood count (CBC) test that measures the number of red blood cells in a sample of blood. RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

When oxygen enters the blood it combines with the red blood cells and forms what?

Oxygen enters the blood stream via the erythrocyte (Red blood cell, RBC), I am not sure what you are asking but the hemoglobin inside the RBC has 4 "oxygen holder molecules" called Heme's where an iron molecule (Fe++) is stored, the Fe++ is what oxygen attaches to.


How oxygen gets into your blood?

The blood composed of RBC,WBC and platelets. The RBC is the oxygen carrier. Blood goes to the lungs for oxygenation to be distributed to the entire body.

What is the color of RBC's without hemoglobin?

The red blood cells don't loose hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein the oxygen binds to. So I think a better question is " What is the colour of RBC's without oxygen?" And the answer in a dark red.

They do not have a nucleus. RBC carry oxygen to body.
