Red Blood Cells
Red Blood Cells are responsible for the transport of oxygen throughout the body. They are one of the three main classes of blood cells, the other two are white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells are named so because they contain the iron-containing protein called the haemoglobin which imparts the characteristic red colour to the cells.
They are present in the highest numbers in the blood. This is why they are responsible for the characteristic red colour of the blood. In this article, we will look into the diagram of red blood cells, structure, and function in detail.
