Types of Blood Cells
- Erythrocytes [RBCs) - ANSWER - Transport O2
- Small disc shape
- Lifespan = 120 days

Cytic vs Chromic - ANSWER Cytic = Size of RBCs
Chromic = Amount of Hgb
Cytic vs Chromic - ANSWER Cytic = Size of RBCs
Chromic = Amount of Hgb
Cytic vs Chromic - ANSWER Cytic = Size of RBCs
Chromic = Amount of Hgb
MCV and MCHC - ANSWER MCV: Mean corpuscular
volume - [average size rbc]
MCHC: normal Mean corpuscular Hgb concentration -
[average amount of hemoglobin in the RBCs compared to
the average size of the RBCs. The amount of hemoglobin
that was there
