NO!
Among white blood cells (also called leukocytes) there are a number of different types of cells, all with unique roles and functions.

1) B cells (also can be segregated into memory B cells and plasma B cells)
2) T cells (also can be segregated into CD4 and CD8; CD4 cells can also be segregated into TH1 and TH2)
3) Macrophages
4) Dendritic cells
5) Natural killer cells
6) Neutrophils
7) Eosinophils
8) Basophils
9) Mast cells
