15 Million To all blood cells including the red ones
On average, about 2.4 million red blood cells are destroyed per second in the body. This amounts to approximately 172.8 million red blood cells destroyed every hour. White blood cells have a shorter lifespan and are continually being produced and destroyed. The precise number can vary depending on individual health and circumstances.
Red blood cells are destroyed in the spleen once they have reached the end of their lifespan, which is typically around 120 days. The spleen contains special cells called macrophages that engulf and break down the old red blood cells.
Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow, specifically in the spongy tissue called red bone marrow. Red blood cells are destroyed, or broken down, primarily in the spleen and liver.
Red blood cells can not reproduce because they do not have a nucleus like all other cells. Red blood cells last at least 3-4 months. When they are destroyed, heme (consisting of iron) is released; the iron is used to reproduce red blood cells.
The spleen identifies "old" erythrocytes (RBCs) and destroys them. The life of an RBC is around 120 days.
red blood cells are destroyed by macrophages in the blood to form heme and globin

No, they die from white blood cells =)
No, red blood cells are not destroyed in the liver. They are broken down in the spleen and recycled by the body.
Red blood cells have a life span of about 120 days. They are formed in the bone marrow and destroyed by the reticuloendothelial cells present in spleen, liver, lymph nodes, brain, the heart or even in the muscles. Spleen is the major site of their destruction.

White blood cells
if white blood cells get destroyed the body loses it's power of defence against any infections and foreign substances.
White blood cells are destroyed mainly in the spleen and liver, where they are broken down by macrophages and other immune cells. Additionally, some white blood cells may be eliminated in the bone marrow or lymph nodes as part of the immune system's surveillance and renewal process.
Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow, specifically in the spongy tissue called red bone marrow. Red blood cells are destroyed, or broken down, primarily in the spleen and liver.
The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system.
Human red blood cells are suspended in a straw colored yellowish substance called plasma. If red blood cells were destroyed, it is more likely the blood sample would look less red and more yellowish, but certainly not completely white.
