BLOOD CELLS
There are three types of living cells
in blood: red blood cells (or
erythrocytes), white blood cells (or
leukocytes) and platelets (or
thrombocytes)
RED BLOOD CELLS
RBC
Red blood cells (RBCs), also called
erythrocytes, are the most common
type of blood cell and the
vertebrate's principal means of
delivering oxygen (O2) to the body
tissues—via blood flow through the
circulatory system
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
White blood cells (WBCs), also called
leukocytes or leucocytes, are the
cells of the immune system that are
involved in protecting the body
against both infectious disease and
foreign invaders. All white blood
cells are produced and derived from
multipotent cells in the bone
marrow known as hematopoietic
stem cells.
PLATELETS
Platelets, also called thrombocytes ,
are a component of blood whose
function (along with the coagulation
factors) is to stop bleeding by
clumping and clotting blood vessel
injuries.
 Platelets have no cell nucleus: they are
fragments of cytoplasm that are derived
from the megakaryocytes of the bone
marrow, and then enter the circulation.
Platelets are found only in mammals,
whereas in other animals (e.g. birds,
amphibians) thrombocytes circulate as
intact mononuclear cells
