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.

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.
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 leukocytes carry oxygen?
No, leukocytes, also known as white blood cells, do not carry oxygen. Their primary function is to fight infection and provide immunity by attacking and destroying pathogens in the body. Oxygen is primarily carried in the bloodstream by red blood cells, which contain hemoglobin.
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 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.
Why is red bone marrow important to immunity?
Red bone marrow is considered a part of the immune system because it produces red and white blood cells. White blood cells protect against pathogens inside of the body, which is an action that the immune system performs as a collective system.
Where does blood get oxygen from?
Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.
How do red blood cells form?
Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis. Hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow differentiate and mature into red blood cells under the influence of the hormone erythropoietin. These red blood cells then enter circulation to transport oxygen throughout the body.
