White Blood Cells\n\nThere are between 6,000 and 8,000 white cells per cubic millimetre of blood. White cells, slightly larger than red cells, are also called leukocytes. They purify and protect the body from infections. Once an infection is detected in any part of the body, the while cells move in to fight it.

Both are equally correct. Use the short form RBC if you like to avoid uncertainty in your mind.

Hi\n\nBlood Cells      \nBlood contains several different types of cells. Some cells, such as red blood cells, carry oxygen to other cells. Other types of cells, such as white blood cells or leukocytes, provide protection from foreign cells and infectious agents. Cell fragments called platelets provide protection against bleeding. The red blood cells of different animals can have different structures.  \n \nSheep red blood cells  \nIndividual red blood cells from a sheep appear colorless when viewed under a microscope. (Images of individual human, sheep, and zebrafish red blood cells were taken at the same magnification and appear to scale.) \n \nZebrafish red blood cells  \nIndividual red blood cells from a zebrafish appear colorless when viewed under a microscope. \n \nField of human red blood cells  \nIndividual disk-shaped red blood cells appear colorless when viewed under a microscope. The pink tint on the left of the image is due to clotting of several layers of red blood cells. \n \nHuman white blood cell - phagocytosis  \nHuman white blood cells engulf green fluorescent particles in a process called phagocytosis. In our bodies, these cells phagocytose invading organisms, such as bacteria, to fight infection.  \n\nHuman white blood cells  \nWhite blood cells are an important part of our immune system, moving to sites of infection to engulf and destroy microbes. In this movie, white blood cells crawl along a glass slide. Disk-shaped red blood cells can be seen floating in the frame. \n \nRed Blood Cells:\nThe red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. The red blood cells have a unique appearance. They have been described as looking like a donut because they are thinner in the center and thicker around the edges. They are very flexible with the ability to twist and bend through the blood vessels. The red blood cells are only 1/25,000 of an inch in size.\n\nA major function of the red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all the tissues from the lungs. The red blood cells than transport the carbon dioxide from the cells because of breaking down the nutrients\n\nThe reason the erythrocytes are known as red blood cells is because of a substance called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is composed of simple protein and iron pigments and when combined with oxygen their color becomes a bright scarlet.\n\nRed blood cells are made in the red bone marrow. In infants every bone in their body produces red blood cells. In the adult the red blood cells can be produced in the thoracic bones, vertebrae, cranial bone and ends of femur and humerus bones. Red blood cells only live for approximately 120 days. The blood contains about 25 trillion red blood cells and has to replace them at about 3 million per second. If for some reason there is a red blood cell deficiency a problem called anemia can arise.\n\nanother structures is Chemical structure of red blood cells\n\nStill more is there to share.   If i find time, i can able to give more inputs on this.\n\nRgds/Venky, Chennai

well i know that a human red blood cell is 10 µm (10 - 30 µm), I'm not sure what a virus is but i think it is significantly smaller.

2.11.06\nToo Many Red Blood Cells?\n\nWhen you are told that you have too many red blood cells, it means that you are either suffering from a disease called Polycythaemia or a disease called Relative Erythrocytosis.\n\n1.- Polycythaemia is a disease where there is an increase  \n- in the red blood cell count\n- in hemoglobin\n- in the total red blood cell volume\n- in total blood volume\n\nThere are 2 types of Polycythaemia\n- primary polycythaemia due to red cell precursors in the bone marrow.\n- secondary polycythaemia not due to red cell precursors but due to \n- lung disease, \n- heart disease, \n- increased altitude, \n- defective haemoglobin, \n- benign and malignant lesions.\n__________________\n       \n2.- Relative Erythrocytosis \n- is a disease caused by fluid loss or decreased intake of fluid. \n- there is no increased blood volume in it.\n__________________\n\nPlease contact me if you need any further information.

blood, fluid pumped by the heart that circulates throughout the body via the arteries, veins, and capillaries (see circulatory system; heart). An adult male of average size normally has about 6 quarts (5.6 liters) of blood. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and removes carbon dioxide and other wastes. The colorless fluid of the blood, or plasma, carries the red and white blood cells, platelets, waste products, and various other cells and substances

CRED:  Center for Research on Environmental Diseases\n Could the word you are wondering be "crit"?  Short for hematocrit..,.This has to do with the volume of erythrocytes in a given volume of blood.  Other than what I have said, I do not know what you are possibly referring to.

The human erythrocytes can be defined as an eukaryotic cell as it has a plasma membrane, surface proteins and a cytoskeleton even though it lacks more common organelles like the nucleus or mitochondrion.\n\nIt can also be said that erythrocytes are eukaryotic because it is produced and exists in an eukaryotic organism.

Hct is the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells.  Conditions that raise it may be a chronic state of hypoxia, where the body grows more rbc's, such as high altitude, and lung problems, even sever dehydration.  Lower hct is typically anemia or bloodloss.

Red blood cells consist of a selectively permeable plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and hemoglobin.  Antigens on the surface are responsible for blood groups such as ABO and Rh.\n\nWhite blood cells do not have hemoglobin, but do contain nuclei.  WBC also have surface proteins called major histocompatibility antigens.\n\nPlatelets are fragments of large cells that have been enclosed by a piece of cell membrane.  Platelets do not contain a nucleus, but do contain granules that play a role in blood clotting.\n\nPlasma is the straw colored liquid left when the formed elements of blood are taken out.  It is composed of albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen.

Red blood cell (RBC) count. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the RBC count is low (anemia), the body may not be getting the oxygen it needs. If the count is too high (a condition called polycythemia vera), there is a risk that the red blood cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries).

The process by which the formed elements of blood develop is called hemopoiesis or hematopoiesis.Before birth,hemopoisis first occurs in the yolk sac of an embryo and later in the liver ,spleen, thymus and lymph nodes of a fetus.\n\nRed bone marrow is a highly vascularized connective tissue located in the microscopic spaces between trabeculae of spongy bone tissue.About 0.05-0.1% of red bone marrow cells are derived from mesenchymal cells called pluripotent stem cells.these cells have the capacity to develop into several different types of cells.\nStem cells in red bone marrow reproduce themselves,proliferate and differentiate into cells that give rise to blood cells,marcophages,reticular cells,mast cells and adipocytes.\n\nIn order to form blood cells,pruripotent stem cels in red bone marrow produce two further types of stem cells,called myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells.\nMyeloid stem cells begin their development in the red bone marrow and give rise to red blood cells ,platelets, monocytes, neutrophils,eosinophils abd basophils.\nLymphoid cells begin thier development in red bone marrow but complete it in lymphatic tissues,they give rise to the lymphocytes.\n\nHope this helps ya.Please check my spelling coz i think i misspelled some words in there.

At birth, all bone marrow is red. As we age, most of it is transformed into yellow marrow by the addition of fat cells. Red marrow produces red blood cells, platelets, and certain white blood cells. It fills the cavities of many bones, especially long bones. By adolescence, most of our marrow is yellow. In an adult, red marrow is only found on the proximal epiphysis of long bones, in vertebral bodies, sternum, ribs, and bones of the cranium. If necessary, yellow marrow can be stimulated to produce new red blood cells. Red blood cells only live about 120 days, after which they are replaced and recycled. Every day, the liver destroys about the same number of red blood cells as bone marrow creates to maintain a balance.
