The process of blood cell production is called
Hematopoiesis
In adults blood cell formationoccurs in the
Red bone marrow
The stem cells of all formed elements is the
Hemocytoblast
The development of each blood cell line is regulated by
Growthfactors
Growthfactors for regeneration of red bone marrow are used to counter the effects of
Chemotherapy incancer treatmen
A myeloblast differentiates into

Red blood cells are
Biconcave
Red blood cells live for approximately
120days
One-third of the volume of the red blood cell is composed of what red pigmented protein?
Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is composed of
Both four polypeptides and four heme groups
The heme group inred bloodcells contain this metal.
Iron
Hemoglobin combines with __________and appears bright red in color.
Oxygen
Red blood cells transport carbon dioxide boundtothe
Amino groups of the globin molecule
What percent of the oxygen is transported in the bodybyred blood cells?
98.5%

23%
In the red blood cells, carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid which dissociates into hydrogen and bicarbonate ions. What enzyme is responsible for this reaction
Carbonic anhydrase
This cell is the product of erythropoiesis and is released into the blood as an immature red blood cell
