What happens to red blood cells at high elevations?
Polycythemia or an increase in red blood cells
What happens when the red blood cells turn dark red?
It loses oxygen!
What happens to the fragments of old red blood cells after they rupture?
After old red blood cells rupture, the fragments are broken down by the body's immune system and recycled for the production of new red blood cells.
Why some cells change during life span?
this mostly happens with multi-cellular organisms and red blood cells. Red blood cells lose their nucleus.
What process happens in the bone marrow?
Erythropoiesis (making red blood cells) and the synthesis of other blood cells.
What happens inside a bone?
Red blood cells are made by the marrow.
What happens to red blood cells after it is formed?
They are broken down in the liver.
What happens if there is a greater amount of white blood cells than red blood cells?
That is virtually impossible but if it did we would have problems with our bloodstream
What happens if you NaCL to Red Blood Cells?
If you expose red blood cells to a high concentration of NaCl (salt), water will move out of the cells through osmosis, causing them to shrink and potentially undergo hemolysis (bursting). This process is known as crenation.
What is the concentration of red blood cells?
The concentration of red blood cells in a healthy adult is typically around 4.5-6.0 million cells per microliter of blood. This concentration can vary slightly based on factors such as age, sex, and altitude.
What happens to Red blood cells when added with water?
The red blood cell will become turgid because water will move from the glucose solution to the red blood cell.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
