Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are described as being biconcave. This unique shape increases their surface area for oxygen absorption and allows them to deform as they pass through narrow capillaries. The biconcave structure contributes to their efficiency in transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.
Normal blood red cells are biconcave disks, approx. oval.
