The shape of a blood cell can be described as a biconcave disc, particularly in the case of red blood cells (erythrocytes). This unique shape allows for increased surface area, facilitating efficient gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Additionally, the biconcave structure enables flexibility, allowing red blood cells to navigate through narrow capillaries. Other blood cells, like white blood cells and platelets, have varied shapes that reflect their specific functions in the immune response and clotting processes.

What shape are blood cells?
Blood cells are typically disc-shaped with a concave center, resembling a biconcave disc. Red blood cells have this shape to increase their surface area for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. White blood cells are larger and varied in shape, allowing them to engulf foreign particles and pathogens.
