Why would a person with leukemia have low numbers of red blood cells normal white blood cells and platelets in the blood?

When people have Leukimia Their blood counts are low because their cells of blood cant reproduce quickly


What cant red blood cells do?

Red blood cells do not fight off infection like white cells do. Since every cell in the human body is specialized to perform a specific function, red blood cells are unique in what they do. Red blood cells also cannot reproduce or make new proteins, since they lose their nucleus when they mature.


Does the destruction of red blood cells release heme to reproduce in bone marrow?

Red blood cells can not reproduce because they do not have a nucleus like all other cells. Red blood cells last at least 3-4 months. When they are destroyed, heme (consisting of iron) is released; the iron is used to reproduce red blood cells.


What types of cells if damaged or injured does not reproduce itself and it lost forever?

red blood cells


Red blood cells can reproduce themselves?

All cells are born with a nucleus, but not the red blood cell. Without the large structure in the cell, it can carry more oxygen. But without a nucleus, it cannot reproduce and will die eventually. A red blood cell's life span is about 3-4 months. After that, it will be sent to the liver to be destroyed.When red blood cells are destroyed they release heme, a prosthetic group, that consists of iron. Iron is used to reproduce red blood cells in bone marrow. Red blood cells usually are reproduced in bone marrow.
