Red blood cells do not contain mitochondria, they are designed to deliver O2 via their complex heme centers & thus contain no nucleus/organelles, maximizing space for this job. Red blood cells arise from bone marrow stem cells & only circulate, carrying O2 for about 120 days before the spleen recycles their heme groups.
