MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Red cells have an average life span of about 120 days after which they are cleared by-phagocytosis by reticuloendothelial macrophages due to accumulated changes during their life span. Approximately 5 million erythrocytes (the average number per l) are removed from the circulation every second.

Detailed explanation-2: -Red blood cells make up almost half of your blood. The lifespan of a red blood cell is around 120 days.

Detailed explanation-3: -Human red blood cells (RBC), after differentiating from erythroblasts in the bone marrow, are released into the blood and survive in the circulation for approximately 115 days.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lifespan of RBC is about 120 days.

Detailed explanation-5: -Red blood cells have a limited lifespan because they don’t have a center membrane (nucleus). When a red blood cell travels through your blood vessels, it uses up its energy supply and only survives an average of 120 days.
