what is difference between white blood cell and red blood cell.

This helps in the movement of the oxygen to different tissues and organs of the human body by taking away the carbon-dioxide. Hemoglobin mainly comprises of iron which combines with the oxygen, thus giving the reddish color to the blood. The main functions of the RBCs are the transportation of nutrients and the hormones throughout the human body.
White Blood cells
The white blood cells are also called as Leucocytes. TheseWBC’s act as defense agents against the infections in the human body. They produce a special kind of protein called as an antibody which recognizes and fights against the foreign elements invading the human body. These cells are classified further as granulocytes and agranulocytes. The granulocytes have the visible granule-like structures in the cell bodies, and that of the agranulocytes do not have it. The three kind of granulocytes are neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. White blood cells are known to perform various complex functions in the human body.
