Red Blood Cells
 Red Blood Cells are responsible for carrying oxygen
and carbon dioxide. Red Blood Cells pick up oxygen in
the lungs and transport it to all the body cells. After
delivering the oxygen to the cells it gathers up the
carbon dioxide(a waste gas produced as our cells are
working) and transports carbon dioxide back to the
lungs where it is removed from the body when we
exhale(breath out). There are about 5,000,000 Red
Blood Cells in ONE drop of blood.
