Jim, You'd think an MD would have studied that at least in pre-med. Perhaps he just forgot. Heck, I studied that during my sophomore year in college. Admittedly, though, my Biology and Organic Chemistry classes are two reasons why I'm an electrical engineer today. ;-) Tenchusatsu

Mature red blood cells lack organelles (mitochondria, golgi apparati, endoplasmic reticuli etc), even nuclei.Optimizing space for hemoglobin. Maximizing oxygen transport. Why do real estate salemen study such arcane subjects......Do you rent and sell zoos?

I was waiting him for him to answer too. Had he said that was okay - the numbers I used (300-400/cell) are average for the entire human body so they were my bait. But blood and skin cells are exceptions in that they have few and at maturity none. Brain, organs, muscles have hundreds or thousands in each cell. Ovum have something like 100K of them per cell because they need a lot of energy to turn a single cell into a baby. Funny that people who aren't doctors seem to know more about basic biology than the phony doc.
