    This document summarizes the main functions of different types of cells in the blood. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against disease, including neutrophils that break down bacteria, eosinophils that kill parasites and control inflammation, and basophils that prevent clotting and increase circulation. Monocytes clean up dead cells and bacteria, while lymphocytes respond to the immune system. Blood platelets help close breaks in damaged blood vessels.

    Functions of Cells:

    Erythrocyte(red blood cell):


    - transport O2 through body

    Leukocyte(white blood cells):


    - Protect against disease

    Granulocyte
    Neutrophil
    - Most abundant, breaks down bacteria
    Eosinophil
    - Kills parasites, controls inflammation
    Basophil
    - Prevents clotting, produces heparin, increase circulation, allergy response
    Agranulocyte
    Monocyte
    - Clean- up crew(dead cells, bacteria)
    Lymphocyte
    - Immune response
    Thrombocyte(blood palates)
    - Helps close breaks in damaged blood vessels
