Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood.
Hemoglobin is the protein in erythrocytes that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body.
A low number of erythrocytes can lead to anemia, a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells.
Patients with severe anemia may require a blood transfusion to replenish their erythrocyte levels.
Erythrocytes play a crucial role in oxygen transport, ensuring that oxygen reaches all tissues in the body.
