Red blood cells don't get as far as the brain itself; they do enter the head, and provide oxygen to the cerebro-spinal fluid in which the brain bathes. What you should understand about red blood cells and the brain is that the brain is an unusually delicate organ, in which a red blood cell can actually get in the way of the normal function of the brain, by intruding into a nerve synapse. That is why the brain does not use blood directly, as other organs do.
What else can I help you with?
What is the energy for the brain and red blood cells?
glucose
How many blood cells are in the brain?
While the brain does not contain blood cells in the same way as blood vessels or circulating blood, it does have microglial cells that act as the immune cells of the central nervous system. These cells can help defend the brain against infections and remove cellular debris.
What is glucose the prefered source of energy for?
Glucose is the preferred source of energy for the brain, as it can cross the blood-brain barrier and be readily used by brain cells for their functions. Additionally, many other tissues in the body, such as red blood cells and kidney medulla, rely primarily on glucose for energy production.
How do the red blood cells deliver oxygen to the brain?
lung,heart,brain,aorta,arteries,veins
What cells of the body would suffer most if glucose blood levels were to drop drastically?
The brain cells would suffer the most if glucose blood levels were to drop drastically because they rely heavily on glucose for energy. Without an adequate supply of glucose, the brain may not function properly and could lead to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and even loss of consciousness.
Cis their blood in the brain cells?
no, blood are cells put together, the white blood cell, red blood cell, plasma, platelets and antibodies.your blood is red because most of the blood cells are red blood cells.

Does the nucleus of your red blood cells contain the same DNA as your brain cells?
YES BECAUSE YOUr momma had ur brain
How do the red blood cells deliver oxygen to the brain?
lung,heart,brain,aorta,arteries,veins
Can all cells reproduced?
No. Most can except some specialized ones such as brain cells, red blood cells and gametes.

The brain cells would suffer the most if glucose blood levels were to drop drastically because they rely heavily on glucose for energy. Without an adequate supply of glucose, the brain may not function properly and could lead to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and even loss of consciousness.
Are red blood cells found in cerebrospinal fluid?
Red blood cells are not normally found in cerebrospinal fluid. The presence of red blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid may indicate bleeding or other pathological conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord.
What are the main cells in the body?
Red Blood Cells- make the blood red; and carry the oxygen White Blood Cells- fight infections Platelets- form clots to stop the flow of blood Plasma- a yellowish liquid that carries the nutrients
What cells use almost exclusively carbohydrates for energy?
The red blood cells in the body completely rely on glucose, which is a carbohydrate, for energy. Adipose tissue and muscles cells partially rely on glucose as well.
Does the brain have blood cells?
The brain has veins, capillaries, and arteries which contain blood cells.
