English: Human erythrocytes (red blood cells) viewed by phase contrast light microscopy. Three conditions are shown: hypertonic conditions (where the erythrocytes contract and appear "spiky"), isotonic conditions (where the erythrocytes appear normal) and hypotonic conditions (where the etrythrocytes expand and become more round).
Red blood cells or erythrocytes pors carry oxygen and collect carbon dioxide through the use of hemoglobin. [2] Hemoglobin is an iron -containing protein that gives red blood cells their color and facilitates transportation of oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs to be exhaled.

Red blood cells (RBCs), referred to as erythrocytes (from Ancient Greek erythros 'red' and kytos 'hollow vessel', with -cyte translated as 'cell' in modern usage) in academia and medical publishing, also known as red cells, [1] erythroid cells, and rarely haematids, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen (O 2) to the body tissues—via ...
Akaryotes come in many different forms. Overall, there are four main types of akaryocytes discovered: Erythrocytes, commonly known as red blood cells, are concave-shaped cells responsible for gas exchange, and the transfer of nutrients throughout an organism. Red blood cells are classified as akaryocytes because they lack a cell nucleus after ...
Erythropoiesis (from Greek 'erythro' meaning "red" and 'poiesis' "to make") is the process which produces red blood cells (erythrocytes), which is the development from erythropoietic stem cell to mature red blood cell. [1] It is stimulated by decreased O 2 in circulation, which is detected by the kidneys, which then secrete the hormone ...
erythrocytes (red blood cells) at the bottom of the centrifuge tube. Serum separation tubes (SSTs) are tubes used in phlebotomy containing a silicone gel; when centrifuged the silicone gel forms a layer on top of the buffy coat, allowing the blood serum to be removed more effectively for testing and related purposes.

A proerythroblast (or rubriblast, or pronormoblast) is a precursor cell to the normoblast (nucleated red blood cell), as the earliest of four stages in its development.. In histology, it is very difficult to distinguish it from the other "-blast" cells (lymphoblast, myeloblast, monoblast, and megakaryoblast).
