Assalamualaikum wr.

Good afternoon everyone.

I have to say It’s so amazing to stand up here and I’m very happy to see
you in this beautiful day. Thank you so much to give me a little time to speak
in front of all of you. Guys, do you know that the red blood cells are vital for
us to stay alive as they carry out an extremely important role in our body, red
blood cells are the carrier of oxygen around our body in the blood stream. So,
today I will tell you briefly about the process to make the red blood cells.

Red blood cell are actually red, and they’re found in the blood. But red
blood cells, even though they’re found in the blood, they’re actually not made
there. They’re actually made inside the bone. Inside the bone you have cavity
in the center of the bone, if you took a slice of the bone and you are look into
it you’d see that, on the outside of the bone, there’s a hard part, a white part
that we all know about. But, in the center, there’s the red spongy tissue and
that red spongy tissue is called bone marrow. Bone marrow is where all of the
different blood cells are made including red blood cells. The bone marrow is
instructed by the kidney to make the red blood cells, and the kidney releases
the hormone called Erythropoeitin or EPO. The name of this process is
Erythropoiesis (Erythro means red and Poesis means to make red blood cells).
So, Erythropoietin is a hormone that’s release from the kidney that tells the
bone marrow to make the red blood cells.

But how does it do that? Well, inside the bone marrow there’s the main
cell called hematopoietic stem cells and this stem cell gives rise to all of the
different blood cells whether it’s a red blood cell, a white blood cell or platelet
they are originate from a hematopoietic stem cell , so erythropoietin released
from the kidney once again and instruct the hematopoietic stem cell to form a
red blood cell. So the hematopoietic stem cell then develops into an
immature red blood cell. Immature red blood cell is a pretty big cell and
inside the cell there’s a nucleus and nucleus contains DNA, and this immature
red blood cell called erythroblast. And an immature red blood cell, It mature
into a mature red blood cell. And mature red blood cell called erythrocyte.
Erythro means red, cyte means cell. Erythrocyte looks pretty different from
erythroblast. In erythrocytes there are no nucleus and no DNA. Also in
erythrocytes there are no organelles, so it has no mitochondria, no ribosomes,
etc. So what does the erythrocyte have inside, well erythrocyte has inside of it
lots and lots of hemoglobin. And what is hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is a
protein that binds the oxygen. So we know that the red blood cells serve the
function of the carrying and delivering oxygen and It’s Hemoglobin that allows
the red blood cells to serve that function because the hemoglobin that
actually binds to the oxygen and you can see that red blood cells are pretty
committed to their job to carrying the oxygen because they empty their selves
pretty much anything else fill themselves up of hemoglobin so that all they do
is carry oxygen so all in all this is what the lifecycle of a red blood cell looks
like and this blood cell will live for 120 days before it’s taken out of
commission.

So the conclusion, Red blood cells play an important role in your health by
carrying fresh oxygen throughout the body. Red blood cells are able to carry
oxygen because of a special protein called haemoglobin. That’s all from me
thank you for your attention
