Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body due to the presence of the protein hemoglobin which binds with oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues in need. Platelets help with blood clotting, osteoblasts are bone cells that help with bone formation, and leukocytes are white blood cells that help with the body's immune system.
