They are produced in myeloidic bone marrow of flat bones, such as the hip, and are ovoid in most vertebrae, though round in humans.
Halperin studied these entities in sand rats, finding that they contain multiple "labile-bound" glucose compartments. They are rapidly sequestered by liver histiocytes when decomposed in rats, and Gardos channels lead to their dehydration. Proteins on their surfaces include (*) band 3 and the adaptors for their characteristic actin-spectrin assembly, ankyrins, which contributes to these entities' concave shapes.

For 10 points, name this cell type containing the hemoglobin pigment and which develops from erythroblasts.
