Which of the following accurately compares the functions of erythrocytes and leukocytes? Erythrocytes make up 1% of circulating blood; whereas, leukocytes make up 40-45% of blood volume. Erythrocytes increase in number during inflammation; whereas, leukocytes decrease. Erythrocytes transport oxygen to body tissues; whereas, leukocytes defend the body against disease.
