Red blood cell transferrin. Almost all red blood cells are removed in this manner from the circulation before they are old enough to hemolyze.

The average adult has a blood volume of roughly , which is composed of plasma and several kinds of cells. These blood cells (which are also called corpuscles or "formed elements") consist of erythrocytes (red blood cells, RBCs), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets).
