RBC stands for two primary meanings depending on the context:
- Red Blood Cell : RBC is an abbreviation for red blood cell, also known as erythrocyte. Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and their main function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues via the circulatory system. They contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein responsible for carrying oxygen and giving blood its red color. RBC count is a common blood test measuring the number of red blood cells in the blood, used to diagnose conditions like anemia or other blood-related disorders
- Royal Bank of Canada : RBC also stands for the Royal Bank of Canada, which is a major Canadian multinational financial services company. It is the largest bank in Canada by market capitalization and serves millions of clients worldwide. Founded in 1864, RBC is a leading global financial institution headquartered in Toronto and Montreal, Canada
So, RBC can refer either to red blood cells in medical contexts or the Royal Bank of Canada in financial contexts.
