White blood cells (leukocytes) are the cells that travel throughout your body via the blood and fight infections and foreign items that enter the body. There are several different types of blood cells that each specialize in combating a particular foreign body. For example neutrophil are normally what people think of when people hear WBC's and they attack bacteria and fungi.
