Red blood cells have a specific bi-concave shape which increases the surface area, which also increases diffusion and gaseous exchange.

They have thin membranes and are elasticated so are flexible when in the blood stream.

The 'dimple' where the nucleus should be is instead filled with haemoglobin (which carries oxygen), there fore the more room for haemoglobin, the more oxygen can be carried around the body.
