A red blood cell is specialised cell which carries oxygen around the body.

Adaptations of Red Blood Cells

Red blood cells are shaped to fit through capillaries without getting stuck.
Red blood cells are shaped to have a large surface area.
Red blood cells have no nucleus to provide a bigger volume inside to store oxygen.

About Red Blood Cells

All muscles in the body are made of muscle cells.
Muscle cells are specially adapted to allow for movement.
Many muscle cells grouped together make muscle tissue.
