Does not have a nucleus, this allows it to carry more haemoglobin/oxygen. Is biconcave in shape
which makes diffusion of oxygen in and out of it more efficient.
Can change its shape to squeeze through capillaries, or surround and trap microbes. Produces
enzymes that destroy the trapped microbe
Has a long extension, which allows it to transmit impulses over long distances in the body.
Has a long tail for swimming to an ovum. Contains the haploid number of chromosomes for
fertilisation.
