This question does not make sense!

In blood chemistry (biochem), erythrocytes' capsule is plastic but not elastic.

Plastic = Able to change shape

Elastic = Stretchable

In this case, erythrocyte can be easily squeezed through narrow capillaries, by changing it's shape and they can maintain so until they went through the capillaries.

They are NOT elastic, as they will rupture when they're stretched.
