Erythrocytes Survive 120 Days Hemoglobin * Globin: 4 folded polypeptide chains * Heme: Iron group in each polypeptide that binds 02 Enzymes: * Glycolytic: generate energy through glycolysis due to lack of mitochondria * Carbonic anhydrase: for transport of CO2 into HCO3 Erythropoiesis: * regeneration of new cells in the bone marrow Erythropoietin (hormone): * when kidneys detect not enough 02 they secrete this hormone which stimulates erythropoiesis‚ increasing 02 capacity

Human anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body.Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy (histology) Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy‚ regional anatomy‚ or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy involves the use of microscopes to study minute anatomical structures‚ and is the field of histology which studies the organization of tissues at all levels‚ from
