when mammals began to evolve. Other vertebrates such as fish, reptiles and birds have red cells that contain nuclei that are inactive. Losing the nucleus enables the red blood cell to contain more oxygen-carrying hemoglobin, thus enabling more oxygen to be transported in the blood and boosting our metabolism.
Red Blood cells are non nucleated in order to store greater amount of haemoglobin.thus its carrying capacity will be greater in absence of nucleus.As a consequent of this red blood cells cannor replicate due to absence of DNA found in nucleus so they are present in large amount about 5 million RBCs are nucleated only in lamma (camel) .i don't know why.in vertebrates except mammals are nucleated.does the answer works if not email me.ktk_grt@Yahoo.com
so there is more room for oxygen to be defused into. The volume of the cell is very small in ratio to its surface area because of its biconcave shape. Therefore, the cell needs as much room as it can get.
Red blood cells contain a nucleus until just before they are released into the circulatory system. Their sole purpose is to transport oxygen throughout the body. The question of "why" leads to philosophical discussions; however, I can say that it is handy that they do not have a nucleus. If they did, they might get involved with other functions in the body, fighting disease, inflammation, etc., but without one the red cell functions without distraction to carry oxygen to all parts of the body.
It is advantageous for erythrocytes to lack nuclei because of the size of capillaries. The absence of the bulky nucleus allows the cells the fit and not become clogged.
An RBC has no nucleus , because the nucleus is extruded from the cell as it matures
So there is more space for Oxygen.
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
Red Blood Cells
The four major components in blood are: -Plasma -Platelets -Red Blood Cells -White Blood Cells
Erythrocytes aka red blood cells, specifically the hemoglobin of the red blood cells
While they are very similar in size white blood cells are bigger while red bloods cells are much more numerous.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.

red blood cells
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
The old red blood cells get replaced by the newly formed red blood cells.
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.
Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes)
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
Red and white blood cells.
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
Red blood cells are the most common in human blood.
