The lifespan of red blood cells (RBCs) is primarily maintained by several factors: the integrity of the cell membrane, which protects against oxidative damage; the presence of hemoglobin, which efficiently carries oxygen; and the functionality of metabolic pathways that produce energy (ATP) and maintain ion balance. Additionally, the spleen plays a critical role in filtering out aging or damaged RBCs, while erythropoiesis in the bone marrow ensures a continuous supply of new cells to replace those that are lost.

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.
Do all white blood cells retain their nucleus throughout the life of the cell?
No, not all white blood cells retain their nucleus throughout their life. Some white blood cells, such as lymphocytes and monocytes, maintain their nucleus throughout their lifespan to support their functions, while others, like neutrophils, eject their nucleus as they mature to increase their efficiency in fighting infections.
What system Carries life-giving blood to the cells.?
The cardiovascular system carries blood to and from each and every cell.
What is the life function of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane functions to protect the cell from its surroundings, control the movement of substances in and out of the cell, and facilitate cell communication and recognition. It also helps maintain the cell's shape and provides structural support.
How do cell maintain its life?
Cells are units of life and can either exist separately or work cooperatively with other cells to make complex organisms. Each cell is made up of a cell wall containing the cell structures meaning that the contents of the cell are separate and different from the environment that the cell is in. Inside the cell is the cytoplasm a runny jelly that contains the cell organelles. The cell nucleus contains the code/instructions for how the cell is to function, the mitochondria are the cells energy factory and the ribosomes are where the cell makes the things it needs. The cell membrane also lets stuff in and out of the cell in a controlled manner as the cell needs to do this. Cells are of a fixed size as they grow they divide, not enlarge.
How long does a wbc live?
A white blood cell is a cell which protects our body from diseases and helps us to maintain our immunity They lives shorter than red blood cells(erythrocytes) with a life span average of 14 to 20 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.
Why is agglutination of blood in vivo a threat to life?
the clumped red blood cell hemolyze
Why are capillary beds important?
it helps you maintain your life
What life process is the red blood cell involved in?
Respiration
What is the half life red blood cell in sickle cell disease?
It can be as low as 4 days.
What is the life expectancy of a person with 1500 white blood cell count?
A high white blood cell count is evidence of an infection somewhere in the body, nothing more. It has no direct bearing on life expectancy.
