Red blood cells are one of the three parts of the cell - the component that together with plasma forms the liquid tissue form of blood, in which red blood cells are the most abundant in the blood and create the red color of the blood. Red blood cells have the important task of providing enough oxygen for the body. So what are red blood cells and how does the process of red blood cell production take place?
