Red blood cells (RBCs) in humans are unique in that they lack most organelles, including a nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, which allows for more space to carry hemoglobin and transport oxygen. This adaptation enhances their efficiency in oxygen delivery. However, they do contain enzymes and a flexible cytoskeleton that aid in their function and shape.
