Mature red blood cells are not capable of dividing, as they do not possess nuclei. Therefore, it is not possible that red blood cells will divide as they travel along our blood vessels. New red blood cells are produced in the red bone marrow of long bones in adults, not from the cell division of mature red blood cells.
"RBCs are terminally differentiated; that is, they can never divide. They live about 120 days and then are ingested by phagocytic cells in the liver and spleen."

The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
There are no cells in the red blood cell
Yes, bearded dragons have red blood cells. Reptilian red blood cells are different to mammalian red blood cells in that they have a nucleus and are oval in shape.
When red blood cells die, other red blood cells come in and multiply.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Trypanosoma is found outside the blood cell, in the plasma and Plasmodium is found inside the blood cell.
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes)
Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow in the skull, ribs, sternum (breast bone), spine and pelvis. The stem cells divide and multiply to make the blood cells. These cells differentiate (develop and mature) as they grow into white cells, red cells or platelets.
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
Red and white blood cells.
