• Its shape squeezes through narrow passages
• The Red Blood Cells carries Oxygen around the body
• Later, It gets worn out and die
• The life Cycle of the Red blood cells is about 120 days

THE BIRTH OF THE RED BLOOD CELLS

• Left atrium
• Left ventricle
• Aortic Valve
• Aorta and Descending Aorta

What does the RBC do after it leaves the heart?
It first go to the Atrium then to the Ventricle and to the lungs, which goes to the Atrium to the Ventricle again. Then it goes to the Aorta to the whole body.
