Red blood cells are cells that carry oxygen and contain a special substance called hemoglobin. In the lungs, oxygen combines with hemoglobin to give oxy-hemoglobin which is bright red in color.

Red blood cells wear out after a couple of months. The marrow manufactures new red cells to replace worn out ones. There are several million red blood cells in a single drop of blood.
