Red Cell
Red blood cells are specialized cells in your blood responsible for carrying oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body, and returning carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. They contain a protein called hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and gives these cells their characteristic red color. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and have a lifespan of about 120 days before they are recycled. Their efficient function is vital for providing energy and supporting the proper functioning of tissues and organs throughout your body.
