Yes. When your body is getting attacked by any sort of bacteria,virus, or disease. The body immediately thinks of it as a threat, so it sends the red and white blood cells to attack it. Sometimes the bacteria,virus, or disease defeets the cells. So it can be fatal. Especially when it comes to parasites.

∙ 11y agoNo. Red blood cells primary function is to carry and exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other nutrients/wastes to and from other cells within the body. The exchange of these nutrients and wastes may be important in fighting or preventing disease, but red blood cells do not directly in and of themselves fight disease.

∙ 11y agoit depends because your red bloods ceels should protect you but sometimes they might be infected so they might not help protect from disease

white blood cells job
red blood cells carry oxygen

∙ 13y agoNo, they do not. Their main purpose is transportation of gases (CO2 and O2). Only WBC fight against germs and diseases. Mainly the macrophages.

What Type of t cells are involved in cellular immunity?
red blood cells
Is blood composed of cell fragments?
No. It is composed of red blood cells (oxygen carrying) and white blood cells (immunity and defense)
Why are there more red blood cells then there are white?
Red blood cells perform the blood's primary function of transporting materials (gases, nutrition, wastes) to and from the various tissues of the body and this is why there are more red blood cells than white blood cells. White blood cells provide the blood's secondary functions of immunity and clotting and therefore do not need to be as many.
Do red blood cells prevent pathogens from entering the human body?
No, red blood cells simply transport oxygen to tissues. The role of providing immunity to the body is played by white blood cells.
What are the blood cell?
White blood cells ( WBC), Red blood cells( RBC), and finally platelets. White blood cells are the cells that are responsible for the immunity of the cells, while red blood cells contain the oxygen containing pigment heamoglobin, and platelets are fragments of cells that are responsible for clotting.
What is the purpose of white and red blood cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, while white blood cells are part of the immune system and attack foreign organisms that enter the body, like bacteria.
Does iron produce red blood cells?
No, you don't. Otherwise, vegetarians wouldn't exist as they wouldn't have any red blood cells to provide oxygen to breathe.
Is blood group have less immunity as compare to other blood groups?
Blood groups are dertermined on the surface of the red blood cells and they have nothing to do with our immune system.
What are the cells in blood?
Three maion cells are: -Red Blood Cells (carries CO2 away) -White Blood Cells (fights infections by making antibodies) -Platelets (Form scabs and blood clots) They are all suspended in the plasma which carries the Oxygen.
Difference between red and white blood cells?
Red blood cells are the cells that carry oxygen. The white blood cells are the cells that defend the body against infections.
How do red blood cells form?
Red blood cells form from the red bone marrow in certain bones. They produce hemoglobin from the iron , which gives them their red colour and provide it the ability to perform its job.
How do blood cells help the human body?
Are you talking about red blood cells or white blood cells? Red blood cells function mainly in the transport of the gases carbon dioxide and oxygen throughout the body. The different white blood cells function in immunity. The platelets aid in clot formation, and the plasma or liquid portion of the blood carries substances to and from various body parts.
