Where is the red blood cell made in the body?
Blood cells are made in the bone marrow or stem cells of your body. The stem cells become red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells are replaced every 120 days, platelets every 6-7 days and white blood cells everyday.
How does the circulatory system get oxygen and sugar to all the cells in the body?
When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen from the alveoli diffuse into the capillaries and is taken up by red blood cells. There it binds to hemoglobin. The red blood cells will travel through the arteries to the tissues where the oxygen will disassociate itself from the hemoglobin and diffuse into the tissues (cells).
Do all cells reproduce asexually?
No. The two big examples of non-reproduction in humans is red blood cells and neurons.
Which substance carries glucose from the small intestine to all the other cells in the body?
A process known as diffusion. The plasma in your blood.
Which type of blood cells are lymphocytes and monocytes?
white blood cells
What is the broadest term for the process by which all blood cells are formed?
Hematopoiesis
Which is the process that occurs in the red marrow of long or flat bones by which all blood cells are formed?
hematopoiesis
When are the red blood cells formed?
in the bone-marrow
Where are red blood cells and white blood cells formed?
Erythrocytes or red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow from precursor cells called erythroblasts which themselves are formed from pleuripotential stem cells - the mother of all blood cells. Along the way, erythroblasts take various forms/ stages until they differentiate into mature erythrocytes.
How are the formed elements of blood related?
The formed elements of blood are related in that they are all the cells or cell fragments that comprise the solid portion of blood, and they arise from the same type of stem cell. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
What is the develpoment of sperm cells called?
All gametes, including sperm cells, are formed through a process called meiosis.
Where is the red blood cell made in the body?
Blood cells are made in the bone marrow or stem cells of your body. The stem cells become red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells are replaced every 120 days, platelets every 6-7 days and white blood cells everyday.
Red blood cells megakaryocyte eosinophil basophil monocyte neutrophil and lymphoctes are all examples of what?
formed elements
Which blood cells are made inside certain bones in your body?
New red blood cells are formed by the red bone marrow located in the spongy bone in a process called hemopoesis. I hope that helps :-)
Is producing white cells the major function of the lymphatic system?
All blood cells (red and white) are formed in the bone marrow.
What is the process through which pluripotent stem cells differentiate into various types of blood cells?
the process to make red blood cells is called erythropoiesis. they are produced in bone marrow and originate from hemotopoietic stem cells. this differentiation is stimulated by hormone erythropoietin. the process takes about 7 days and red blood cells last between 100 and 120 days when they are then recycled by the body. the process of making white blood cells also utilizes hemotopoietic stem cells. there are many different white blood cells such as neutrophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes and eosinophils. they all perform different functions in immunity.
Do all formed elements arise from a common type of stem cell called hemocytoblast?
Technically yes they are because hemocytoblast stem cells create Myeloid stem cells and Lymphoid stem cells which produce all of the formed elements (white and red blood cells).
