Nucleated RBCs
I am looking for information about RBCs in reptiles. Frog cells have
nucleated RBCs, mammals and, presumably, birds have enucleated RBCs. What
is the structure of RBCs in reptiles? Do all extant reptiles have the
same structure? What is the significance of enucleated RBCs? Since one
of the functions of RBCs is to carry oxygen, what is the connection with
endothermy?
Just wondering...
