edit Functions. The function of Red Blood Cells (RBC) in the body is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.

RBCs produce a protein called hemoglobin, which absorbs oxygen from the lungs.dit Functions. The function of Red Blood Cells (RBC) in the body is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.
