Red blood cells have the important job of picking up oxygen from the lungs and carrying oxygen to all of the other cells of the body.

The cells of the body use oxygen as the fuel they need to do their jobs.

Red blood cells also give you color. If your skin is white the red blood cells give you the pink color in your skin. They also give your lips a nice pink color.

The way we measure the Red Blood Cells is by measuring the Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein that makes up the Red Blood Cells.

When the Hemoglobin level is below 8 grams, the cells of the body do not receive enough oxygen to do their jobs and your body may begin to feel differently.
