White blood cells or leukocytes are cells of the immune system defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.
These Streptococci Kill White Blood Cells
Although a neutrophil can kill this bead-like string of Streptococcus pyogenes, this particular strain of bacteria expresses streptolysin-s on its surface which kills the white cell through necrosis, ...

red blood cell The type of blood cell that contains hemoglobin and no nucleus. During their formation in mammals, erythrocytes lose their nuclei; those of other vertebrates retain the nuclei.
- A white blood cell, an important component of the body's immune system.

If you think of a red blood cell going through your veins and arteries and capillaries as a water balloon, ...
[footnote: Thalassemia major (the most serious form) negatively affects the production of red blood cells (hemoglobin) such that the tissues have insufficient oxygen, thereby leading to anemia.
There are also round cells, like your blood cells. They're just round. They have no ends at all. But a neuron has basically two ends.
The primary hosts for HIV are the white blood cells variously called helper T lymphocytes, helper T cells, or CD4+ T cells.
The Rh antibodies in the Rhogam will clump and destroy the fetal blood cells with the Rh antigen on them.
Then the red blood cells break loose and are carried away in the plasma. Such free blood cells continue to divide.
Emerging concepts suggest that the biophysical and rheological properties of the red blood cell are important in meeting this criterion.
People with this disease are susceptible to infections because their white blood cells do not produce an enzyme needed by their immune systems. This disease has been treated in two different ways.
These chemicals attract tissue macrophages and white blood cells to localise in an area to engulf (phagocytize) and destroy foreign substances.
Cancer of the developing blood cells in the bone marrow. Leukemia leads to rampant overproduction of white blood cells (leukocytes); symptoms usually include anaemia, fever, enlarged liver, spleen, and/or lymph nodes. [Talking Glossary]

The sickle cell allele causes the normally round blood cell to have a sickle shape. The effect of this allele depends on whether a person has one or two copies of the allele. It is generally fatal if a person has two copies.
erythrocyte - red blood cell.
erythropoiesis - red blood cell (erythrocyte) development, including pluripotential stem cell division, restriction of potential and differentiation into a mature red blood cell containing hemoglobin.
If you could see into the very center of your bones you would find a soft spongy material called bone marrow. This marrow is where new baby blood cells are being created.
It stores excess red blood cells, destroys old cells, and is capable of acting as a reservoir holding 20-30% of all blood cells. It produces lymphocytes and serves to regulate the volume of blood cells elsewhere in the blood system.

Some cells are used to carry oxygen (O2) through the blood (red blood cells) and others might be specific to the heart.

Masses of splanchnic mesoderm that form the first red blood cells and blood vessels. Found in the gut wall of amphibians and the yolk sac of amniotes.
Encapsulation: The surrounding of an invading body, such as the egg of a parasite, by insect hemocytes (blood cells) and the formation of a protective capsule.
Entomopathogenic: Insect-attacking organism.
Undifferentiated, primitive cells in the bone marrow with the ability both to multiply and to differentiate into specific blood cells.
