Red Blood Cells QuizRed blood cells are responsible for transporting - ANS oxygen
Red blood cells carry oxygen through - ANS hemoglobin
What contributes to the red coloring of red blood cells - ANS hemoglobin
blood is slightly - ANS alkaline (7.35-7.45)
localized cell death is known as - ANS ischemia
most of our blood cells are - ANS red blood cells
red blood cells do not have a - ANS nucleus (enucleated)
red blood cells are specialized to carry - ANS oxygen
red blood cells are largely responsible for ______________ _______________ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ throughout the body. - ANS gas exchange
red blood cells can also carry - ANS carbon dioxide but is particularly designed
to carry oxygen
why are red blood cells nucleated - ANS so that they can maximize the amount of
amount of energy that they carry
because red blood cells do not have a nucleus they cannot - ANS replicate
the shape of red blood cells is called - ANS biconcave (pushed in on either side)
what is the purpose of red blood cells being biconcave - ANS so that they can
maximize surface area
-the more surface that we have the more gas exchange they can do

testosterone causes an increases in - ANS red blood cell production
when we look at these values and we do a packed cell volume where we will draw
blood and centrifuge look at how many red blood cells are present in the blood -
ANS Hematocrit
elevation can affect - ANS red blood cell count
people who live in higher altitudes where oxygen is not as abundant as it is
closer to sea level what happens to our red blood cell count? - ANS if there is
less oxygen available the body is going to respond for a period over a couple of
weeks by producing more red blood cells to adapt to the high elevation.
there are relatively few ________ blood cells found in the blood - ANS white
red blood cells process a little bit of - ANS glucose
