eritrocitákat
Eritrocitákat, more commonly known as red blood cells or erythrocytes, are a type of blood cell responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. They are the most abundant type of blood cell in vertebrates. Red blood cells are unique in that they are anucleated in mammals, meaning they lack a nucleus and most organelles when mature. This enucleation allows for more space within the cell to carry hemoglobin, the protein that binds to oxygen.
The characteristic red color of blood comes from hemoglobin. Red blood cells are biconcave discs, a shape
Eritrocitákat play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and providing the body with the oxygen necessary
