	Red Blood Cells
		Red blood cells are red only because they contain a protein chemical called hemoglobin which is bright red in color.
		As the blood passes through the body's tissue, the hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the cells.
		The blood itself, however, is re-circulated throughout your body, not being remade all of the time.

		Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are the most common type of blood cell and are the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen to body tissues via the blood.
		Some athletes have tried doping their blood in the same way with their own packed cells, but this practice endangers the human cardiovascular system because it is not equipped to deal with blood of the higher resulting viscosity.
		The aging cells swell up to a sphere-like shape and are engulfed by phagocytes[?], destroyed and their materials are released into the blood.

		Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen from the lungs or gills to body tissues via the blood.
		Red blood cells are also known as RBCs or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow", with cyte nowadays translated as "cell").
		The blood plasma is straw-colored alone, but the red blood cells change colors due to the state of the hemoglobin: when combined with oxygen the resulting oxyhemoglobin is scarlet and when oxygen has been released, the resulting deoxyhemoglobin is darker, appearing bluish through the blood vessel walls.

	Horse red blood cells
		The red cells have the larger percentage as there are usually 6-8 million/ml as against white cells of 6-8 thousand/ml.
		Horses with more of the less rigid cells will find it easier to move blood into the muscles and the lungs and so may be able to maintain greater period of stamina work than their more rigid cell competitors.
		A horse with 5% rigid cells would have a tremendous advantage, all else being equal, and this may be an area that explains why some horses are superior to their fellows.

	ScienceDaily: Scientists Discover Secret Behind Human Red Blood Cell's Amazing Flexibility
		Science Daily — A human red blood cell is a dimpled ballerina, ceaselessly spinning, tumbling, bending, and squeezing through openings narrower than its width to dispense life-giving oxygen to every corner of the body.
		"Red cells are one of the few kinds of cells in the body with no nucleus and only a thin layer of protein skeleton under their membrane: they are living bags of hemoglobin,” said Amy Sung, a professor of bioengineering at UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering and coauthor of the study.
		Sung asked Skelton to collaborate on her red blood cell project because Skelton and his students have pioneered the development of rigorous scientific tools to analyze the movement and balance of forces in many types of tensegrity systems.

	(BETA) Blood Cell Deficiencies - Part 1
		These include red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's tissues; several types of white blood cells, which are an important part of the immune system; and platelets, which are involved in blood clotting.
		Blood cell deficiencies may be the result of an autoimmune response in which a person's immune system attacks the blood-producing cells in the bone marrow.
		In this type of anemia, red blood cell membranes are fragile and less able to bend when the cells pass through tiny vessels in the spleen, an immune system organ in the abdomen; this causes the cells to burst.

	Kidney International - Abstract of article: Association of reduced red blood cell deformability and diabetic nephropathy
		Impaired red blood cell deformability may play a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic vascular complications of diabetes mellitus and progression of renal failure.
		Red blood cell deformability, measured by filtration technique, is defined as the filtration rate of erythrocyte suspension through a micropore filter divided by the filtration rate of a physiologic buffer solution.
		In diabetic patients, early impairment in red blood cell deformability appears in patients with normal renal function, and progressive impairment in red blood cell deformability is associated with renal function loss in all patients regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes.

	Red blood cell transfusions in newborn infants: Revised guidelines
		RBC transfusion in preterm or sick term infants is essential in the management of their clinical conditions to prevent the effects of anemia (8).
		Blood loss in these infants may be either acute or chronic, and anemia may be, in part, iatrogenically related to frequent blood sampling.
		RBC transfusions in preterm infants have been suggested to decrease heart rate and cardiac output, improve growth parameters, decrease lactate levels, or decrease apneic episodes in stable infants (58).

		Red blood cells are suspended in plasma, which is the straw colored liquid part of the blood.
		Too many red blood cells is referred to as polycythemia and may occur as an adaptation to living in mountains to compensate for reduced oxygen in the air.

		A reduction in the number of white blood cells is called leukopenia ; a particular reduction in granulocytes is called neutropenia (or granulocytopenia).
		The number of white blood cells may go up and this may be because of a bacterial infection, bleeding or a burn.
		Blood from donor animals was obtained from their abdominal aorta under light ether anesthesia, anticoagulated with EDTA (1.5 mg/ml), and used for preparing polymer-coated RBC suspensions.
