The lifespan of transfused red blood cells (RBCs) is generally similar to that of naturally produced RBCs, which is about 120 days. However, the lifespan can vary depending on several factors, including the storage conditions of the blood prior to transfusion and the recipient's immune response. In some cases, transfused RBCs may have a shorter lifespan if the recipient's body recognizes them as foreign and begins to destroy them.

Do platelets have a life span of 120 days?
platelets have a life span of 8 to 10 days normally in body. In transfused blood the life span is 2-3 days Platelets have a life span for about 5 to 10 days. And it is the Red Blood Cell that has a lifespan for 120 days
What is the average lifespan of a red blood cell?
The typical life span of a healthy red blood cell is approximately 120 days.
Do red blood cells have nuclei and how does this affect the lifespan of the cell?
The nuceli is ejected after the cell is formed. This affects not the life span, but the ability to make energy. The life span of a red blood cell is 120 days.
What is the average life span of a skin cell?

What is a life span of a organism?
The life span of a Multicellular organism is not limited to the life of a single cell.
What is the lifespan of platelets?
A human red blood cell... 100 to 120 days. Other (smaller) mammal's red blood cells... a little less than half that of a human's. A human white blood cell... 13 to 20 days. A human's t-cells... appears to be on the order of a year (or more). A mouse's native alpha or beta t-cell... a minimum of 8 weeks.
The life span of a red blood cell is?
A sickled red blood cell will live for 10 to 20 days before it is destroyed. A normal red blood cell would have lived for about 120 days. This is the cause of the anaemia in sickle cell anaemia patients, who typically live for about 45 years.
These have a lifespan of 120 days?
We need more information to answer your question fully, however a red blood cell does have a life span around 100-120 days. But there are millions of organisms that might also have a 120 day life span.

Why do erythrocytes have a limited lifespan?
Actually red blood cells do not have the longest life span of circulating blood cells - that would be differentiated memory B lymphocytes. RBCs actually have a relatively short circulating life span (about 4 months on average) because they lose their nuclei and most cellular organelles when they mature. This means the cell cannot repair damage to the cell membrane and eventually the cell becomes too damaged to function and is removed by the spleen.
