Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, contain hemoglobin which is responsible for binding to oxygen in the lungs and transporting it to the body tissues. They also help carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs for elimination. Lymphocytes, white blood cells, and alveoli are not involved in this process. Sickle cells are a type of red blood cell, but they are not functional and can cause health problems.
