After RBC are fully developed they lose their nucleus. This gives them more room to hold hemoglobin but they can not divide and die after 120 days.

What is the difference between a reticulate red blood cell and nucleated red blood cell?

A reticulate red blood cell, or reticulocyte, is an immature red blood cell. In mammals, reticulocytes do not have a nucleus. They are slightly larger and appear more blue in colour (with standard stain) than mature red blood cells. A nucleated red blood cell is one which contains a nucleus. Mature mammalian red blood cells do not have a nucleus. In mammals, nucleated red blood cells are more immature than reticulocytes - and are not normally seen in peripheral circulation. They can be a sign of anaemia if seen on a blood smear. Birds and reptiles have nucleated mature red blood cells.


What mature animal cell has no nucleus?

RBC (Red Blood Corpuscles) in Mammals except in Camel and lama.


Are all blood cell nucleated?

no they are not all nucleated


What are the different kinds of cells in the blood?

Red Blood Corpuscles White Blood Corpuscles Platelets


What mammal has nucleated red blood cells?

Nearly all non-mammal vertebrates have nucleated red blood cells (nRBC). Non-nucleated RBC's are a unique feature to mammals. There are of course a few notable exceptions, such as the artiodactyl order, which have an odd blood morphology.


Do birds have nucleated red blood cells?

Yes, birds have nucleated red blood cells.


Where are red and white corpuscles found?

Red and white corpuscles can be found in blood. Red corpuscles account for forty to fifty percent of the blood's volume.


What is the difference between red blood cells and red blood corpuscles?

None - red blood cells are also called red blood corpuscles.


Does red blood cells of chickens have nucleus?

No, mature red blood cells of chickens do not have a nucleus. They lose their nucleus as they mature in order to make more space for hemoglobin, which is essential for transporting oxygen. This allows the red blood cells to carry more oxygen efficiently.


What is the difference between a corpuscle n a cell?

Corpuscle's donot have nucleus,mitochondria,golgicomplex and endoplasmic reticulum.They have binocave shape.Cells are nucleated and have oval or elipsodal shape. In mammals,corpusclesare present while in other vertibrates cells are present.So white blood cells differ from white blood corpuscles.


Are all white blood cells nucleated?

Yes, all white blood cells are nucleated, meaning they contain a nucleus. This nucleus plays a crucial role in the functions of white blood cells, such as producing antibodies and coordinating immune responses.


Why do the centers of these mature corpuscles appear light in color?

The centers of mature red blood cells (corpuscles) appear light in color because they lack a nucleus or organelles like ribosomes, making them unable to actively produce protein or repair themselves. This lack of organelles allows them to carry more hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen, giving them their characteristic color.
