why life span of RBC IS GREATER THEN THE WBC?

Answer Posted / vikashini

The lifespan of RBC is 120 days but that of WBC is less
because the our body has to fight against the germs that it
encounters daily which is primarily done by WBC. once it
encounters, the WBC destroys it and dies faster by secreting
certain substances like cytokines and lymphokines. But the
function of RBC is to supply blood to all parts of the body.
