Red Blood Cells are bi-concave disc shaped. Their circular shape that resembles a shallow bowl, but they can change shape without breaking to squeeze through smaller spaces if necessary. RBC do not have nucleus. It contains haemoglobin that combines with oxyhaemoglobin which is transported to the tissues of the body for the purpose of respiration.
