Also know as erythrocytes, red blood cells have the shape of a bioconcave

disc. The bioconcave

disc transports gases and increases the surface area in which gases diffuse. Each red blood cell is about 1/3 hemoglobin by volume. They have nuclei during their early stages of development, but extrude them as

the cells mature.
