MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from your lungs to your body’s tissues. Your tissues produce energy with the oxygen and release a waste, identified as carbon dioxide. Your red blood cells take the carbon dioxide waste to your lungs for you to exhale.

Detailed explanation-2: -A type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Red blood cells are adapted for the transport of oxygen. They are small and flexible so they can fit through narrow vessels, have a bi-concave shape which maximises their surface area to absorb oxygen, have a thin membrane so gases easily diffuse through, and contain haemoglobin which binds to oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Red blood cells at work It carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, bringing it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-5: -Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and carry waste products to the lungs or kidneys for release. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, which is the protein that enables them to carry oxygen.
