- Biconcave shaped to provide a large surface area for absorption of oxygen/carbon (IV) oxide
- Absence of nucleus hence more haemoglibin to carry sufficient oxygen/carbon (IV) oxide
- Alter shape to enable to pass through the narrow lumen of capillaries to supply oxygen/ remove carbon (IV) oxide
- Have haemoglobin with high affinity for oxygen/carbon (IV) oxide/uptake of more oxygen/carbon (IV) oxide.
- RBC are many/numerous to carry more oxygen/carbon (IV) oxide
