The Full Story

Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are by far the most numerous cells in the bloodstream. A healthy adult typically has about 4.5 to 5.5 million red blood cells per microlitre of blood, far more than white blood cells or platelets. Their main job is to transport oxygen using hemoglobin. Their abundance is one reason blood appears red and can carry large amounts of oxygen efficiently.
