What else can I help you with?
What happens to red blood cells after it is formed?
They are broken down in the liver.
What cells are in the bloodstream?
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
What is the difference between white blood cells and red blood cells?
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
What is the difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
What organelles in red blood cells?
There are no cells in the red blood cell
If incompatible blood are transfused what happens to RBC that are agglutinated?
When incompatible blood is transfused, the recipient's immune system recognizes the foreign red blood cells (RBCs) as threats and produces antibodies against them. This leads to agglutination, where the antibodies bind to the foreign RBCs, causing them to clump together. The agglutinated cells can then be destroyed by the immune system, often resulting in hemolysis, which can lead to serious complications such as anemia, kidney failure, and shock.
What happens to red blood cells at high elevations?
Polycythemia or an increase in red blood cells
How are agglutinated red blood cells broken down and removed from the body?
The body produces fibrinolysis enzymes that break down the clot, which is then consumed by macrophages. The parts are then returned to the spleen and liver for recycling or excretion.
What happens when the red blood cells turn dark red?
It loses oxygen!
What happens to the fragments of old red blood cells after they rupture?
After old red blood cells rupture, the fragments are broken down by the body's immune system and recycled for the production of new red blood cells.
Why some cells change during life span?
this mostly happens with multi-cellular organisms and red blood cells. Red blood cells lose their nucleus.
What process happens in the bone marrow?
Erythropoiesis (making red blood cells) and the synthesis of other blood cells.
What happens inside a bone?
Red blood cells are made by the marrow.
What happens to red blood cells after it is formed?
They are broken down in the liver.
What happens if there is a greater amount of white blood cells than red blood cells?
That is virtually impossible but if it did we would have problems with our bloodstream
What happens if you NaCL to Red Blood Cells?
If you expose red blood cells to a high concentration of NaCl (salt), water will move out of the cells through osmosis, causing them to shrink and potentially undergo hemolysis (bursting). This process is known as crenation.
What happens to Red blood cells when added with water?
The red blood cell will become turgid because water will move from the glucose solution to the red blood cell.
