The (a)   is a type of white blood cell responsible for immunity and antibody production. It has a round to ovoid nucleus, and the generally colorless cytoplasm often stains with a thin basophilic rim at the periphery of the cell.

(a)   is the intracellular protein compound of red blood cells that combines with oxygen, facilitating its transport throughout the body.
