A few interesting facts about red blood cells: They only make up about 45% of the entire blood volume, the technical name for them is erythrocytes, they make up the largest amount of formed elements in the blood, the lack of a sufficient amount of red blood cells can lead to death within minutes due to lack of the oxygen that they carry, a red blood cell's structure is round with a raised rim and a sunken center, they have little internal structure (organelles) and the lifespan of a single RBC is around 120 days.
