Red blood cells (RBCs) are anucleated to maximize their capacity for oxygen transport. By losing their nucleus during maturation, they gain more space to contain hemoglobin, the protein responsible for oxygen binding. This adaptation allows for increased flexibility and surface area, facilitating the efficient passage of RBCs through narrow capillaries and enhancing overall oxygen delivery to tissues.
