As Carlotta explored the heart, she met other blood cells. There were oxygen-carrying red blood cells, who were as round as she was but had a special job of transporting oxygen. There were also white blood cells, who were bigger and had a superpower to fight off germs and keep the body healthy. Carlotta liked making friends with everyone she met.
