HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:)
Explanation:
Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells)
The main function of Red blood Cells (R B C) are to carry oxygen to all parts of the body and to bring carbon dioxide to the lungs. The haemoglobin in the red blood cell is the carrier for oxygen and carbon dioxide. So, for the transportation of oxygen and Carbon dioxide, adequate number of matured and functioning red blood cells must be available. RBC must also contain appropriate amount of haemoglobin.
LEUKOCYTES (White Blood Cells)
Leukocytes (WBC) are chiefly responsible for fighting infection by identifying, engulfing, and destroying foreign organisms . They are active in the immune response by producing antibodies to foreign organisms . There are 5 different types of WBCs . They are Granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) or neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes.
