Both are they have different work in a body red blood cells are help to clotting and white blood cells are defend your body from diseases. white blood cells are make your immunity power strong to fight with many diseases.

Which blood cells type is involved in body defense and repair?
White Blood Cells(Leucocytes). They engulf the foreign(harmful) substances in the body through enzymes.
What are animal blood cells?
Animal blood cells are the blood cells of animals. Other than that, there isn't much more to say. If you had a more specific answer in mind concerning blood cells, then a more specific question is required.
What part of the circulatory system carries oxygen to the cells?
The blood, or if you want to be more specific the red blood cells, or to be even more specific the hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells, carries oxygen to the other cells of the body.
Specific immune response?
the bodies immune system tells the white blood cells to attack enemy bacteria (etc.) as the first response to the immune system's defense
What Type of t cells are involved in cellular immunity?
red blood cells
What are the parts involved in the body's first line of defense?
white blood cells
What is the medical term meaning white blood cells generally involved with body defense?
lymphocytes
Which blood cells type is involved in body defense and repair?
White Blood Cells(Leucocytes). They engulf the foreign(harmful) substances in the body through enzymes.
Why would your body need a specific defense system if you already have a non-specific defense system?
Because most of the time, your non-specific defense system (i.e. skin & white blood cells [phagocytes]) are not enough to fight off disease, so your more specialized cells (Helper T, B, antibodies, and Killer T cells) are usually needed.
Are leukocyte and lymphocyte mean the same thing?
No, not exactly. A Lymphocyte is a white blood cell, which provides immune defense. A leukocyte is type, or more specific, WBC. There are three types of lymphocytes: T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells. Each provide a specific defense and are vital to the Immune System.
What are blood cells involved in immunity?
T cells
Is blood composed of cell fragments?
No. It is composed of red blood cells (oxygen carrying) and white blood cells (immunity and defense)
What is the name of some of the cells involved in the body's specific line of defense against pathogens?
The easy answer is the white blood cells but there are various types of white blood cells ( leucocytes) involved including cell eating defensive cells (phagocytes) called neutrophils which are very small but capable of engulfing several pieces of damaged tissue and bacteria. These are amongst the first cells to take action. Monocytes are immature as they leave blood vessels and enter tissues but they mature rapidly into active cells called macrophages (means big eater) which can consume up to 100 bacteria or similar sized cellular debris before its death occurs.
Do the formed elements of blood include defense proteins?
Formed elements of blood do not include the defense proteins known as antigens. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
What structure is involved in the breakdown of red blood cells?
The structure involved in the breakdown of red blood cells are called macrophages. Macrophages are white blood cells that are in connective tissues. They are formed to accumulate damaged or dead cells.
What are animal blood cells?
Animal blood cells are the blood cells of animals. Other than that, there isn't much more to say. If you had a more specific answer in mind concerning blood cells, then a more specific question is required.
Blood is composed of red and white?
blood (a connective tissue) is made of red blood cells, called erythrocytes which are involved in oxygen transport, white blood cells (called leukocytes) which are divided into five main categories: lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils have many different functions like allergic response and immune responses and platelets which are plasma fragments involved in the production of fibrinogen needed for blood clotting
