Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphocytes are agranulocytes, consisting of 20 to 40% of the leukocytes counts, and are part of the adaptive immune system. Lymphocytes are circulating immunocompetent cells; cells that developed the ability to recognize and react to antigens and are in transit from and to various lymphatic tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Based on their structure, the leukocytes are classified into granulocytes and agranulocytes. Based on lineage, they are classified into lymphoid cells and myeloid cells. Based on the type of white blood cells, they are classified into eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and basophils.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood consists of two types of white blood cells (WBC), viz, granulocytes and agranulocytes. Basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils are granulocytes. Lymphocytes and Monocytes, on the other hand, are agranulocytes.
