Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 12WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How transferrin and ferritin participate in recycling erythrocyte components.
Concept introduction:
Blood consists of two elements- formed elements and plasma. Erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets are the formed elements of blood. Erythrocytes are the main component of formed element of blood, which is formed by the process of erythropoiesis. Erythrocytes contain a pigment called hemoglobin, which is formed of four globin protein molecules. The globin chains are composed of a heme group that contains a porphyrin ring consisting iron ion in the center to which oxygen binds.
