There are many kinds of blood cells. But this day only three different types are diagnosed. They are: white blood cells (leukocytes or WBC), red blood cells (erythrocytes or RBC),and latelets (thrombocytes). Red blood cells surround hemoglobin and use it to carry oxygen to the tissues. Platelets involved in blood clotting, and they are not complete cells but are fragments of certain kinds of leukocytes. White blood cells do not carry oxygen but are part of the body's immune system. White blood cells are either lymphocytes or myeloid cells.
