What Does RBC Stand For?

RBC stands for Red Blood Cells

RBC, or Red Blood Cells, are specialized cells in the bloodstream responsible for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs, and the return of carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen, facilitating effective gas exchange. RBCs play a crucial role in maintaining overall body function and health, and their production occurs in the bone marrow.
