Red blood cells (RBCs) are the oxygen-carrying cells in circulation in the body. RBCs contain the molecule hemoglobin that can bind oxygen (O2) and transport it all over the body. Anemia is lack of sufficient RBCs (and hemoglobin) to carry enough O2. You get tired easily, have muscle weakness, and your heart struggles. Your bone marrow will produce more RBCs that need more hemoglobin to fill them. Hemoglobin has iron in the center that binds to the O2. So you need RBC production from the bone marrow and iron intake from the diet to produce more O2-carrying capacity. This causes your RBC count, the number of RBCs in circulation per unit volume, to increase. RBC count is called the Red Cell Count (RCC). RCC in cells/femtoliter = hematocrit divided by mean corpuscular volume in femtoliters per cell.
What else can I help you with?
What hormone increase causes an increase in red blood cell?
the hormone that produces red blood cells is erythropoeitin.
What colour is a red blood cell when it is deoxygenated?
The color of a red blood cell is dark red when it is deoxygenated.
A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called?
A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called a normocytic red blood cell.
What is smaller human red blood cell bacterium or virus?

Red Blood Cell
Does alcohol consumption lead to an increase in red blood cell count?
No, alcohol consumption does not lead to an increase in red blood cell count. In fact, excessive alcohol consumption can actually decrease red blood cell count and lead to anemia.
What hormone increase causes an increase in red blood cell?
the hormone that produces red blood cells is erythropoeitin.
The relationship between reticulocytes polycythemia and hermacrit?
Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells that indicate the rate of red blood cell production. Polycythemia is a condition characterized by an increase in the total red blood cell mass. Hematocrit is a measure of the volume of red blood cells in the blood. An increase in reticulocytes can lead to polycythemia, which in turn can elevate hematocrit levels.
Why is there a dip in the centre of a red blood cell?
To increase the surface area so that the blood cell can carry more haemoglobin and, therefore, oxygen.
What does a white blood cell have that a red blood cell doesn't?
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
What does long-term exercise do to your red blood cell count?
Your red blood cell count will increase in response to the body's increased demand for oxygen as a result of long-term aerobic exercise.
Is there are more white blood cells in the blood than red blood cells?
No. Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell. White blood cell counts only increase if they are fighting against a disease or foreign material or if someone has a cold.
When is a red blood cell red?
a red blood cell is red when it reaches oxegen.
What is epogen used for?
increase red blood cell orincrease the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood for improved athletic endurance.
How is a cell differs from a red blood cell?
red blood cells are a type of cell
What is a host red blood cell?
its is the red blood cell on our body.
How does blood enter a red blood cell?
Blood contains red blood cells. Red blood cells don't contain blood. Blood does not enter the red blood cell.
