Red Blood Cell- 120 days life span

White Blood Cell- The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system.

Platelets- usually 10 -12 days These numbers do not include the amount of time it takes for them to mature in the bone marrow. It only reflects the time they live in the blood stream.

white blood cells can differ in appearance and in what they do.

Red blood cells are all identical in appearance and in how they work.

Red cells transport oxygen in combination with the iron pigment, hemoglobin. The function of white blood cells is to fight infection, while platelets initiate the clotting necessary to stop bleeding after a wound. Nutrients, wastes, hormones, antibodies, and enzymes are dissolved in the plasma.
