Meaning
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.
