No, they don't fight pathogens, they just transport oxygen around the body. It is the white blood cells called neutrophils and monocytes which are involved in phagocytosis, and thereby fighting pathogens.

∙ 14y agoRed blood cells (RBCs) develop in the bone marrow. The biggest difference between an immature RBC and a mature one is that the immature RBC still has a nucleus, and a mature RBC has lost its nucleus. The nucleus is lost in the final stage of RBC development (when the cell is called a reticulocyte, right before it becomes a mature RBC). If you do a blood smear of a normal person, you should see no nucleated (ie immature) RBCs. If you do a blood smear of a person with hemolytic anemia (someone who is low on RBCs because of disease), you will see lots of nucleated RBCs. This is because the body is trying to compensate for the low RBC count and is so desperate it is sending RBCs into circulation before they are even fully mature.

The white blood cells fight the bacteria then the platelets stack up and make a scab to stop further infection and to stop the blood leaking.
Are white blood cell pathogen?
No white blood cells are not pathogens, they protect the human body from pathogens.
All about white blood cells?
white blood cells are your body's defence system to bacteria and infection when it enters your body there are several types of white blood cells the main one is called a phagocyte which engulfs bacteria and using proteins it eats it others white blood cells include t cells and b cells
What does b cells create against pathogens?
They transform themselves to lots of plasma cells, which create antibodies to fight against the pathogens.
Is 'phagocytosis' the name for the process used by white blood cells to fight infection?
Yes. The primary function of white blood cells in fighting infection is phagocytosis, or the engulfment, (eating) of cells, cell fragments, and pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.).
