Which of the following types of white blood cells is thought to play a role in the prevention of clotting?

Which white blood cell is important in removing foreign bacteria?
There are six main types of white blood cells neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, bands, monocytes and lymphocytes. Neutrophils, which make up about 58% of the white blood cells in the body, are the body's main defense against bacteria. Monocytes also play a role in bacteria removal.
Part of blood that clots blood is?
The blood coagulation which you are referring to has several stages and types. The main cells involved directly are thrombocytes, while endothelial cells etc may also play a role. There are also soluble factors of the blood involved. (see coagulation cascase) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

What is the main role of the cells in a circulatory system?
It depends on the type of cell we're talking about. I'm going to use the assumption that you mean blood cells when you ask about the circulatory system cells (as opposed to the cells that make up the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries). Blood is made up of 4 major components: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, and Plasma. Plasma is the vast majority of blood and it's basically salt water that your cells float in and that carry nutrients and wastes through the body. Platelets are generally referred to as "cell fragments" that release thread-like proteins to help stop bleeding. Red blood cells have one primary role: Carry oxygen. That's it. "White blood cells" are a collection of many different types of cells that collectively work towards fighting infections. Some (macrophages) actually engulf and eat invading cells! Plasma cells create antibodies for remembering how to fight certain infections. Killer T-cells chemically attack infected cells. There are actually quite a few more. In all, there are 7 main types of cells (T-cells, B-cells, memory cells and plasma cells are actually subsets of the lymphocyte group).
List the different types of white blood cells and describe their role in the immune system?
Neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils.
What is the role in the human body for Blood cells?
They transport oxygen to cells.
What is a membrane protein with carbohydrates attached that helps cells identify self and plays a role in blood types organ transplants and germ recognition?
