[edit] Nucleated RBCs

It may be worth mentioning that a nucleated RBC is a normoblast?(not sure, need confirmation) Also that at least some mammals still retain nucleated RBCs mostly at young age, and some at older age(also needs confirmation and reference).Alf 03:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Respiration

I have added the article to the category named Respiration. I am now thinking that I should have added it to the sub-category within the Respiration category named Respiratory System. Respiration is something that red blood cells do by taking oxygen from the part of the Respiratory System called the Respiratory Tract to the cells of the body with mitochondrial Dna.

[edit] Question

Okays, I'm wondering why at the very beginning, second paragraph, it says "Whitney cells..." out of nowhere. There is no indication of the word Whitney before hand and it makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever.

Thanks for catching that. It was vandalism, introduced here. It is now fixed. --Arcadian 22:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Count Count

I've heard the body's entire supply of red blood cells recycles every 6min. True? Trekphiler 08:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
