When erythrocytes are old or die, how are they removed from the blood stream?
◦ the liver filters them out
◦ they break up into small particles and are cleared out by the kidneys.
◦ they dissolve into liquid and circulate in that form in the blood
◦ they are attacked by macrophages and removed
◦ they stay as intact dead cells and are filtered out by the kidneys
