White blood cells, also called Leukocytes, carry out immunity functions in the blood. There are many different types of WBC's in the blood, divided into two groups: Granulated and not Granulated. Each different type carries out a different immune function.

The white blood cells are the blood cells in your body that consist of your immune system. If your white blood count is too low, it will be hard for you to fight infections.

When a pathogen (a disease or illness) gets in the body, white blood cells detect it and send out specific antibodies. These antibodies are shaped right to fit the antigens on the pathogen. Then the antibodies (attached to the pathogens) all clump up so it is easier for the white blood cell to engulf it (swallow it) and digest it. Then your body is rid of the disease or illness.
