RED BLOOD CELL

INFORMATION
The most numerous blood cells (5-6 million per cubic) Size about 7-8 m in a diameter Erythrocytes production occurs in the bone marrow Life span is 120 days Destroyed in liver and spleen Function: carry respiratory gaseous.

EXPERIMENT Biconcave shape (thinner in the center than at its edges) Lack nuclei and organelles

RED BLOOD CELLS

Red Blood Cell

WHITE BLOOD CELLS

INFORMATION Their function is to fight infection in various way Divided into two groups: Agronolocytes Granulocytes OBSERVATION Have no fixed shape Bigger than red blood cell Less numerous blood cell Can see 8 leukocytes by using 40X magnification The type of leukocytes that can be seen are neutrophils,monocytes, basophils,lymphocytes, eusinophils

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ERYTHROCYTES AND LEUCOCYTES

ERYTHROCYTES Smaller Biconcave shape Most numerous Function : carry respiratory gaseous LEUKOCYTES Bigger No fixed shape Less numerous Function : fight infection
