White blood cells

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The shape of the human red blood cell is known to be a biconcave disk. It is evident from a variety of theoretical work that known physical properties of the membrane, such as its bending energy and elasticity, can explain the red-blood-cell biconcave shape as well as other shapes that red blood cells assume.
Detailed explanation-2: -The biconcave shape provides a largesurface areacompared to thevolumeof the red blood cell, allowing diffusion to happen efficiently. Adaptations for efficient carriage of oxygen Red blood cells do not contain a nucleus so they can contain more haemoglobin.
Detailed explanation-3: -All healthy mammalian RBCs are disc-shaped (discocyte) when not subjected to external stress.
