RBC refers to red blood cells in our body which contains haemoglobin in it . the haemoglobin carries the oxygen to differnt parts of our body.

rbc is red in colour and contains a pigment called heamoglobin which help in the transport of oxgen and rbc is large in number and in humans it is formed in bone marrow which lives 120 days...in humans 4-5million erythocytes are produced per hour...The role of red cells is to absorb oxygen through the little alveoli in your lungs and deliver it to all the muscles, tissues and organs in your body.....in birbs and reptiles the rbc consists of only nucleus and rbc is called as erytrocytes
wbc means white blood cell scientific name is leucocytes which doenot have haemoglobin and is white in colour and is less in number it is of two types granulocytes and agranulocytes ....granulocytes are of three types 1.neutrophil,basophil and eosinophil.agranulocytes is of two types lymphocytes and monocytes.....granulocytes kill the foreign material which enters our body and agranulocytes release antibodies into the foreign material which enters and then kill them

RBC / Erythrocyte:
1. They are red in colour due to presence of haemoglobin.
2. They are smaller in size (7.5µ), biconcave and non-nucleated.
3. They are immobile.
4. They are produced in red bone marrow.
5. They transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.
WBC / Leucocyte:
1. They are colourless due to absence of haemoglobin.
2. They are larger in size (15µ) irregular and nucleated.
3. They leave the blood vessels and move to the injury site (diapedesis).
4. They are produced in lymph nodes, spleen, etc.
5. They defend the body from attack of germs.

RBCs dont have a nucleus, WBCs do.
RBCs can squeeze through the smallest Cappilaries, Most WBCs can't.
RBCs carry oxygen in the form of oxyhaemoglobin, WBCs kil germs by engulfing them or using antigens.
RBCs are able to bend and fold, WBCs can't.
There are upto 61 million RBCs in your body, but only upto 11,000 WBCs.

the rbc r produced in the red bone marrow.they lose nucleus during maturation.the red colour is due to iron protein compound called haemoglobin which acts as oxygen carrier.there r about 4.5 to 5 million per 1cu.mm of blood.they r disc shaped.
wbc r amoeboid and white in colour.there r about 5000-8000 per cu.mm of blood.functions r -phagocytosis,immunity and inflammation.they fight against germs and provide immunity.

RBC is the abbreviation of Red Blood Corpuscles. They primarily transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. These are round or oval in shape.
whereas WBC is the abbreviation of White Blood Corpuscles. They prevent infections by fighting and destroying germs. They can be of any shape.
