Does your body is protected from disease by red blood cells?
no. white blood cells and antibodies
Do red blood cells kill bacteria?
No, typically red blood cells are good for the body. Antibiotics kill bacteria by disabling specific bacterial enzymes.Edit: In rare cases (called type II hypersensitivity reactions), antibiotics can react with and attach to proteins on the surface of your cells (including red blood cells). ?Your body may form antibodies to these modified proteins, and the antibodies may cause your red blood cells to become destroyed by your own immune system (since antibodies usually mark pathogens). ?People who say they are allergic to penicillin or whatever suffer from this reaction.
Can spleen destroy normal RBC's?
Yes, one of the major functions of the spleen is to remove aged or damaged red blood cells (erythrocytes) from the circulating blood stream. If the body has produced antibodies against red blood cells, the spleen will remove the red blood cells with antibodies on them from circulation, destroy them and package the bits and pieces for recycling into new red blood cells.
When a patient has autoimmune hemolyic anemia antibodies destroy what?

What are the 4 kinds of blood?
According to the AB0 blood group system there are four different kinds of blood groups: A, B, AB or 0 (null). Blood group A If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group B If you belong to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma. Blood group AB If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. Blood group 0 If you belong to the blood group 0 (null), you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma.
What would happen if you were to inject a person with A blood type with B blood type?
Massive blood clotting due to the person's anti-B antibodies binding to the donated red blood cells and the donated blood's anti-A antibodies binding to the person's red blood cells. This often results in death.
What are different blood vessels and their functions?
red blood cells: go around your body white blood cells: are antibodies that destroy bacteria and microbes in your body
