Red Cells
Larry states - "contain very small derivatives of a primary component"


According to the site Health/How Stuff Works - http://health.howstuffworks.com/blood3.htm Red Cells are 33 percent hemoglobin - Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers mimic a main function of red blood cells i.e. picking up oxygen from the lungs and delivering a percentage of that oxygen to the tissues.

I am attaching a small PowerPoint showing RBC and Plasma percentage of total blood.
