What cells carry glucose?

Glucose is primarily carried in the blood stream by red blood cells and muscle cells. Red blood cells transport glucose to various tissues in the body, while muscle cells use glucose for energy production during physical activity.


Are Red Blood cells the most numerous of all the body's blood cell components?

Red blood cells are the most abundant in the blood. This is because they are the main component in the blood. The red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and carry out CO2 and other impurities. The red blood cells act as transports for the nutrients in the body. Oxygen is the most important element for all the many functions in our body. Without oxygen, we wouldn't be able to survive. Since, red blood cells are the ones carrying oxygen, RBC's are the most numerous blood cells. Red blood cells also called erythrocytes.


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.


Which body cells have no nuclear DNA?

mature Red Blood cells have no nucleus so no nuclear DNA present :)


Why the hemoglobin is increased in smoker patients?

In anyone who is chronically hypoxic, as can occur to smokers, the body will respond by increasing the production of red blood cells in order to have the ability to carry more oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin is one of the components of red blood cells, so when the number of red blood cells increases so does the hemoglobin.

What blood cell has hemoglobin in it?

the Red Blood cells so they can carry oxygen.


What caries blood to the cells?

Your arteries carry your red blood cells to the parts of the body, and your veins carry blood to the heart to be re-oxidized so they can do their job all over again.


Is carrying oxygen to body cells a function of blood?

Of course blood involve in transportation of respiratory gases. So blood carry O2 to cells.


What are the red blood cells doing in the organs?

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all the organs so they can live.


Do white blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body?

I do believe so


What type of blood do capillaries carry?

it comes in arterial blood and leaves as venous blood


How does the disease affect the cells?

The blood cells can't carry as much oxygen as they should be able to carry. So the body gets less oxygen.

White blood cells vs red blood cells?

Red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes) are very different. Red blood cells are round, lack a nucleus and function to carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells can be many different shapes, have a nucleus and function to detect and destroy invading pathogens.


What is in carbon monoxide that makes it so dangerous?

Carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells preferentially to oxygen. So the affected red blood cells do not carry oxygen to the body cells. This starves the cells of oxygen and they will then die.


Why are cells important in your body?

The white blood cells destroy diseases while the red blood cells carry oxygen through out the body. So all in all the white cells are for you to not get sick often and the red blood cells to get oxygen to your whole body. Thanks!
