01

Overview

The red blood cell membrane is a complex structure composed of a lipid bilayer, membrane skeleton, and glycocalyx. It provides erythrocytes with the flexibility, durability, and functionality required for oxygen transport. The membrane maintains cell shape, ensures deformability for passage through microvasculature, regulates ion gradients, and mediates interactions with other cells.
