Red blood cells (RBC) are biconcave in shape. The white blood cells are found circulating in the bloodstream. When the body is infected, the white blood cells move out of the bloodstream to the site by changing their shape. They ingest solid particles such as germs and digest them through a process called phagocytosis.
