where are RBC’S produced in an adult
bone marrow
where are RBC’S produced in the fetus
spleen and liver
what are the 2 types of bone marrow
red and yellow
why does the bone marrow change color
more fat cells during ages causes the yellow bone marrow
what do mature RBC’S lack
nucleus
why do RBC’S have a central pallor
they are a bi-concave disk
nucleus vs cytoplasm ratio in a rubriblast
7:1
when are reticulocytes seen in blood
regenerative anemia
4 things that change as RBC’S mature
size, color, looses nucleus, chromatin clumps
