Information
has glosseng: Codocytes, also known as target cells, are red blood cells that have the appearance of a target with a bullseye. The cells have a dark center surrounded by a white ring and dark outer layer causing the cells to look similar to a target. Such cells are thin and have a disproportional increase in the surface membrane area to volume ratio. This increased ratio may result from an increase in membrane surface area or a decrease in hemoglobin content. Morphologically, target cells have a central, hemoglobinized area surrounded by an area of pallor. The periphery of the cell contains a band of hemoglobin.
