erythrocyte

Examples of erythrocyte in the following topics:

• RBC Life Cycle

  • Human erythrocytes are produced through a process called erythropoiesis.
  • Human erythrocytes are produced through a process called erythropoiesis, developing from committed stem cells to mature erythrocytes in about seven days.
  • Erythropoiesis is the process in which new erythrocytes are produced, which takes about seven days.
  • Shown on the left, the erythrocyte, or red blood cell, has a round, donut-like shape.
  • Outline the life cycle of erythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBCs)

• Components of Blood

  • The cellular components of blood are erythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBCs), leukocytes (white blood cells, or WBCs), and thrombocytes (platelets).
  • Erythrocytes are discs measuring about seven to eight micrometers in diameter.
  • From left to right, a diagram of an erythrocyte, thrombocyte, and leukocyte.

• Connective Tissues: Bone, Adipose, and Blood

  • The living cell types are red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, and white blood cells, also called leukocytes .
  • The cell found in greatest abundance in blood is the erythrocyte, responsible for transporting oxygen to body tissues.
  • Erythrocytes are consistently the same size in a species, but vary in size between species.
  • The principal job of an erythrocyte is to carry and deliver oxygen to the tissues.
  • Erythrocytes (red blood cells), the predominant cell type, are involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

• RBC Anatomy

  • Human erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) are the primary cellular component of blood.
  • Diagram the anatomy of an erythrocyte (red blood cell, or RBC)

• Development of Blood and Blood Vessels

  • Hematopoietic stem cells can of course undergo self-renewal, and are multipotent cells that give rise to erythrocytes (red blood cells), megakaryocytes/platelets, mast cells, T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, monocyte/macrophage, and granulocytes.
  • This creates a formation in which early erythrocytes are enveloped by angioblasts, and together they give rise to mature ECs.

• Babesiosis

  • The life cycle of Babesia parasites is characterized by their ability to undergo reproduction in the erythrocytes.
  • The sporozoites enter the erythrocytes and undergo asexual reproduction as previously mentioned.

• Agglutination Reactions

  • Hemagglutination uses erythrocytes as the biological carriers of bacterial antigens, and purified polysaccharides or proteins for determining the presence of corresponding antibodies in a specimen .

• Plasma and Serum

  • The liquid components of blood called plasma (yellow section) can be separated from the erythrocytes (red section) and platelets (white section) by using a centrifuging or spinning the blood.

• Growth Factors

  • The majority of growth factors shown above are cytokines such as GM-CSF, however the hormone EPO secreted by the kidney plays a key role in erythrocyte (red blood cell) proliferation.

• Characteristics of Mammals

  • As for blood, mammalian erythrocytes (red blood cells) do not have nuclei, whereas the erythrocytes of other vertebrates are nucleated.
