RBCs cannot divide, remember they don't have nucleus whereas its precursors at bone marrow have that capacity
They are permanent in that they do not divide. They are different from the others listed because those other 3 cell types are lifelong (i.e. If a cardiac muscle cell dies, it will never be replaced). RBCs live for about 120 days without dividing, then they die and are replaced by a RBC generated from a stem cell.
