Rbc

## Size 6-8um

Nucleus

  • Anuclear RBC

Reason for biconcave

  • white middle due to no hemoglobulin protein
  • Flexible to passing in capillaries
  • increased surface area for o2 binding ## Color --> Red - Eosin binding to protein

Lifespan

 - 100 -120Days

Sickle cell disease

Erythropoiesis

  • Basophilic = Blue color (Nucleus)
  • Eosinophilia = Red color (protein)
Regions Pro-Erythroblast Basophilic Erythroblast PolyChromatic Erythroblast Normoblast Reticulocyte Erythrocyte
Nucleus 1-2 nucleoli for Ribosomal syntheisi Nucleoli not seen = ribosomes produced Small,heterochromatin = all mRNA Synthesised Pyknotic Nucleus removed No nucleus
Cytoplasm Light blue -no work so thin Basophilic =Ribosomes presence Eosinophilic = Proteins produced by ribosomes Pink and light purple = proteins,ribisomes Light purple to pink = proteins,ribosomes still there Pink = only proteins Concave Shaped
Function comes out of marrow ,if very Hematocrit
