RBC's, the blood cells responsible for transferring nutrients, and the blood cells that are highest in volume are actually red. When blood plumps from the lungs, they are plump and happy, so blood is a nice reddish color. When muscles use the oxygen delivered by Red Blood Cells, the cells shrivel a little bit and it causes more of them to fit within the vein. That tight cluster of RBC's actually turns the blood more of a deep red/ purple color.

∙ 12y agoWell, red blood cells don't change color dramatically, but they may get darker or lighter depending on how much oxygen is in the blood. If you are referring to diagrams of the cardiovascular system and how there are blue and red veins/arteries, you must know that the blue veins/arteries are just representing oxygen poor blood traveling from the body and organs to the heart, then the lungs. And, the red veins/arteries are representing oxygen full blood traveling from the lungs to the heart, and then through out the body

What is the condition of red blood cells that appear like stacked coins?
The condition is called "Rouleaux".
What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
Which cells in the body do not have a nucleus?
Red Blood Cells
What is the four components of blood?
The four major components in blood are: -Plasma -Platelets -Red Blood Cells -White Blood Cells
When microscope sliders are stained to show blood cells the small red blood cells that appear on the sliders are much more numerous than large white blood cells?
The concept of having a normal blood. Red blood cells as compared to the white blood cells are really more numerous. Normally, human blood contains about 3.6 to 6.2 x 1012/L red blood cells while while blood cells only reaches 5-10 x109/L.
What is relative sizes of red blood cells demonstration slides?
Red blood cells appear smaller than the white cells on a slide. They appear lighter in the middle and you will see no nucleus.
Why can you see only two white blood cells and many red blood cells?
because the red blood cells make up almost 45% of the blood composition while the white blood cells are only 1% in comparison. so the red blood cells appear more often than the white blood cells.
Do the red blood cells appear to have a nucleus?
No. red blood cells do not appear to have a nucleus. The precursor (or progenitor) of red blood cells are called erythroblasts. They contain nuclei. However, during the process of maturation, the erythroblast undergoes many changes that include: extrusion of the nucleus and synthesis of hemoglobin (Hb) within the cell.
Do frog red blood cells appear red on a slide?
Yes, they do except they have a nucleus which human RBC don't have.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
When microscope slides are strained to show blood cells the small red blood cells that appear on the slides are much more numberous than the large white blood cells This supports the concept that?

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
Does every part of the body have red blood cells?
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
