Erythrocytes
red blood cells, carry oxygen
Leukocytes
white blood cells, fight infection
Neutrophils
Most abundant white blood cell.
The most abundant type of white blood cell
Phagocytic and tend to self-destruct as they destroy foreign invaders
kills bacteria, fungi, foreign debris
Lymphocytes
A type of white blood cell that make antibodies to fight off infections and viruses
,Monocytes
*A type of white blood cell that transforms into macrophages, and engulfs huge numbers of microbes
over a long period of time
able to migrate into tissues and transform into a macrophage.
clean up damaged cells
Eosinophils
a white blood cell containing granules that are readily stained by eosin
kills parasites, cancer cells, involved in allergic response
Basophils
A circulating leukocyte that produces histamine.
involved in allergic response
Platlets
