What are the 3 types of blood cells and their function of each?

Answer 1

1. Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the most common type of blood cell. They lack a nucleus and are biconcave in shape in order to transport oxygen around the body, which they do by binding the molecules to the cytoplasm, rich with Haemoglobin, an iron containing bimolecule that is responsible for the blood's red colour.
2. Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are cells of the immune system and are involved in defending the body from attack by infectious disease and foreign particles. Five different and diverse types of leukocytes exist, but they are all produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell.
3. Thrombocytes or platelets are small, regularly shaped cell fragments (no DNA- containing nucleus) 2-3 µm in diameter. They are involved in haemostasis (the process of keeping blood in a ruptured vessel) and adhere in great numbers to the damaged area and form a blood clot to cease the bleeding.

Answer 2

Cell type 1: Red Blood Cells Function: Transports oxygen to all organs and cells around the body. Cell Type 2:White Blood Cells Function: Prevents/fights diseases and infections. Cell Type 3: Platelets. Function: Blood clotting.

Answer 3

White blood cells are classified into 2 groups:

• GRANULOCYTES (which contain granules)

Neutrophils - activate phagocytes during short-term/acute infections

Eosinophils - kill parasites

Basophils - discharge histamine at the site of infection

• AGRANULOCYTES (do not contain granules)

Lymphocytes - part of the immune system

Monocytes - activate phagocytes during chronic infections

Answer 4

the 3 type of blood cells are red blood cells , white blood cells and platelets

The red blood cells are the most common cells in the blood their function is to carry oxygen and to supply to tissues through blood they take up oxygen through lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body's capillaries

The white blood cells are present in the imune system they work to protect the body against infections and foreign materials

The platelets help in homeostasis which is a complicated process of clotting of blood,leading to the formation of blood clots

Answer 5

Red and white blood cells. Red - carry oxygen, water and other substances through the body. White - protect the body from foreign cells like bacteria

1. Red - carrier for oxygen to body cells and carbon dioxide from body cells
2. White - major part of immune system, there are manydifferent types of white cells each having different functions: lymphocytes, killer cells, helper cells, suppressor cells, B cells, T cells, etc.
3. Platelets - causes blood clotting and assists wound healing

Answer 6

The three types of blood cells are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues, white blood cells are involved in the body's immune response to fight infections, and platelets help with blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding.

Answer 7

There are blood cells, which transport nutrients to different parts of the body, white blood cells, whuich fight disease, and platelets, which clot blood at cuts or wounds.
