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.
