A red blood cell is a specially adapted cell to help aid maximum absorption of oxygen needed for respiration. In relation to your question, red blood cells (or RBCs) are bi-concave shaped. Their bi-concave shape aids in their absorption of oxygen by increasing the cell's surface area. RBCs are also specially adapted in the way that they have no nucleus - again to fulfil the same function.
Poikilocytosis is the medical term meaning any disorder of red blood cell morphology (shape). Examples include sickle-cell anemia and spherocytosis, among many others. Normal red blood cells are disk-shaped with two dents, one on each side. A poililocyte is any blood cell that doesn't have that shape.
A red blood cell has no nucleus and a biconcave shape. This structure allows it to carry oxygen more efficiently.
Red blood cell contain haemoglobin or rather the 4 heme ( iron group ) in each of the 4 polypeptide which can carry up to 4 molecules of oxygen.Red blood cell also have no nucleus so that it can carry more oxygen molecules.Red blood cell have a binocular shape that increased its total surface area that suit its function for faster diffusion of gas.
A red blood cell is disc-shaped with a thin center and thicker edges, resembling a biconcave disc. This shape allows for flexibility and more surface area for oxygen exchange.
It is sickle cell anemia.
It is biconcave in shape , mature red blood cell do not have nucleus,
sickle cell disease
Spectrin
Red blood cell count
It is a donut shape.
sickle-cell disease
The red blood cell's biconcave shape increases its surface area for diffusion. The lack of a nucleus makes this shape possible.
A red blood cell when placed in salty solution shrinks and becomes wrinkled.
Poikilocytosis is the medical term meaning any disorder of red blood cell morphology (shape). Examples include sickle-cell anemia and spherocytosis, among many others. Normal red blood cells are disk-shaped with two dents, one on each side. A poililocyte is any blood cell that doesn't have that shape.
A red blood cell has no nucleus and a biconcave shape. This structure allows it to carry oxygen more efficiently.
A red blood cell contains a red pigment known as HAEMOGLOBIN.We know that haemoglobin is a protein.Its structure is quertenary which means its made up of coiled polypeptides.2 beta and 2 alpho.This therefore means the shape of a red blood cell is determined by quertenary structure of its red pigment.
Blood cells are typically disc-shaped with a concave center, resembling a biconcave disc. Red blood cells have this shape to increase their surface area for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. White blood cells are larger and varied in shape, allowing them to engulf foreign particles and pathogens.
