3. shape and size: Circular and bioconcave, 7-8 mm
4. They are nonmotile
5. Erythrocytes seldom leave blood vessels.
6. Most of the cell organelles are absent. Nucleus is absent.

12. They have no role in defence and immunity of the body.
13. Number increases during exercise and at high altitudes.
**Leucocytes (White Blood Corpuscles or WBCs)
1. They are colorless corpules.
2. Number: 7000-10000/mm3
3. shape and size: rounded and amoeboid shape. The size is 10-18 mm with the exception of small lymphocytes.
4. They are generally motile
5. They can come out of blood capillaries.
6. Most of the cell organelles are present. Nucleus is present.
7. They do not contain hemoglobin.
8. Rouleaux formation is absent.
9.Erythrocyte are of five types.
10. Life span: 12- 13 days.
11. They do not have any respiratory function.
12. They have important role in defence and immunity of the body.
13. Number increase during infection
Answer:erythrocyte are red blood cells
Lymphocytes are white blood cells
Explanation:red blood cells are disc shaped anucleate structure containing haemoglobin
White blood cells are round cells for defences....there functions are phagocytosic
