RBC = Red Blood Cell
- A type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood.
- Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
- Checking the number of red blood cells in the blood is usually part of a complete blood cell (CBC) test.
- Red blood cells, also referred to as red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.

- A low red blood count, or anemia, can cause feelings of fatigue and weakness.
