ERYTROCYTE FUNCTION
Blood components
A complete blood count CBC FB C is one of the most
common tests It calculates the cellular or formed
components of blood 99 is RBC
The of the volume of the
packed 12 BCS to the total blood
volume is the haematocrit or
Packed cell volume CP CV
RBC characteristics
Biconcave develop in bone marrow no major organelles
DNA produce ATP throughglycolysis broken down by
reticular endothelial system macrophages in liver spleen
Other functions apart from 02 transport CO2
, transport control of acid base equilibrium in the blood
T
Erythrocytes contain carbonic anhydrase sooo
02 t H 20 F Hz C 03 carbonic acid acidic
11 buffered as to not
Accounts for µ Oj µ contribute to
acidity
about 70 of basic
total CO2 from carbonate ion
tissues to lungs
Production of blood cells Blast
