They also deliver nutrients to our body tissues.   The white blood cells are much bigger than the red blood cells, they are 5~17 μm and are white. White blood cells help fight infections and ingest matter, such as dead cells, tissue debris, and old red blood cells. They also protect you from foreign bodies that enters your blood stream.   The smallest cell in our blood is the platelets, i...
