When red blood cells die, the hemoglobin within them is released and broken up: the iron in hemoglobin is salvaged, transported to the bone marrow by a protein called transferrin and used again in the production of new red blood cells; the remainder of the hemoglobin becomes a chemical called bilirubin that is excreted into the bile which is secreted into the intestine, where it gives the feces their characteristic yellow-brown color.

Skin cells leave the body through nails and by being eaten by the many, many microorganisms that live on our bodies.
Brain cells are irreplaceable.
Blood cells are created and destroyed in the mononuclear phagocyte system.

A Girl I work with Doctor told her that her white blood cell weren't leveled.What does it mean when your white blood cells are not leveled?
oh, your gonna die (i think) oh, your gonna die (i think)
Why does your bone create white blood cells?
Almost every component of your blood is created in your bone marrow. Along with white blood cells and platelets, it is in charge of producing billions of red blood cells every day. Additionally, fat that can be converted into energy is stored in the bone marrow.The elements of your blood that you require to survive are produced by bone marrow. White blood cells, which fight infection, platelets, which control bleeding, and red blood cells, which deliver oxygen, are all made in the bone marrow. Since bone marrow is a vital component of your body, its absence can be fatal.
What happens when the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen?
They die because they are unable to produce energy and function. And shrink
Why is blood very important?
Blood is important because it keeps your body warm in the winter, and it makes capulets so you won't die of blood loss. White blood cells defend your body from disease. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body. As a conclusion I will say, "BLOOD IS ALL IN ALL IMPORTANT!"
How do white blood cells protect the body from bacteria?
If an infection occurs and bacteria enters your body the white blood cells will produce antibodies to cover them and clump them together, then more white blood cells will engulf them and digest them. A lot of the white blood cells will then die but a few will stay alive as memory cells and if that bacteria enters again they will multiply and fight it before any harm is done. Platelets in the blood will also seal the wound that has been made to prevent any further dirt and bacteria from entering the body. Once you have had a disease the antibodies are produced much quicker the next time you catch the same infection and your body also has some immunity to it.
Are germs destroyed by the red blood cells?
No, they die from white blood cells =)
How do white blood cells die?
yes, they die.
What happens to blood cells if it has no oxygen?
They die
What happens when a persons cells don't get enough blood?
I don't know what you mean by this as cells don't usually require blood. A blood cell is blood so it doesn't need more blood. Skin cells and other cells are not composed of blood. Blood flows through the circulatory system and is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma. They will die.
What happens if the blood does not go to your head?
The brain cells can begin to die.
What happens if the white blood cells are not able to stop invading pathogens?
White blood cells are the good cells in the body. Yes you do need red and white blood cells, but the white ones fight off diseases or pathogens. If white blood cells cannot do this then the immune system fails. The pathogens depending on their severity, could hurt the body very much. Doctors do different tests and procedures to help this not happen. White blood cells are needed to protect the body from pathogens. When they cannot stop the invading pathogens, a person will most likely get sick. on NovaNet I'm pretty sure that the answer is the person will die:))
What if you have 80 percent white blood cells and 20 percent red?
You will die.
What if you have no white blood cells?
Then you are guaranteed to die as white blood cells make up your immune system. The tiniest bacterium/virus/fungus/mutated cell would thrive immediately and you would die just as fast.
What happens to red blood cells as they age?
membranes "wear out" and the cells become damaged
How do white blood cells fight off the bacteria that enter your body?
The white blood cells kill the bacteria by spitting fairly good gases into them then the bacteria die after a short amount of time.
What happens when blood does not flow well?
When blood does not flow through the body well it can deoxygenize cells. This can cause them to die or shutdown.
Where do leukocytes die?
Immune cells go home to die. Neutrophil white blood cells can end up back in the bone marrow once their job is done. Neutrophils are white blood cells produced in the bone marrow that can fight infection and inflammation by ingesting harmful microorganisms.
