There are seven main types of white blood cell:
- Neutrophils
- Eosinophils
- Basophils
- Lymphocytes
- Monocytes
- Macrophages
- Dendritic cells
Some of these are further divded into subtypes, which all have separate tasks in the body. For example, lymphocytes include B-cells, T-cells (which itself has some subsubtypes) and NK-cells. For further detail on and explanations of what each type does, see the related links.

The protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body.
What are blood cells and nerve cells called?
Blood cells are called erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Nerve cells are called neurons.
