==Definition==

The '''red blood cell''', also called '''erythrocyte''' or '''RBC''', is a type of [[blood cell]] found in [[vertebrate]]s. The chief function of this cell, which is carried in the blood, is to circulate [[oxygen]] to the organism's entire body.

The red blood cells of [[mammal]]s (see [[mammalian red blood cell]]) differ from those of those vertebrates (and from [[animal cell]]s in general) in the following important respects: mammalian red blood cells do not have a [[nucleus]] and do not have any [[mitochondria]].
