two nucleoli.
Lymphocytes (1, 2) constitute approximately 20% to 30% of blood
leukocytes. Most of the lymphocytes in the blood, about 90%, are the small
lymphocytes. The large lymphocytes constitute about 3% of the circulating
lymphocytes.

Figure 6.8 | Monocyte
Monocytes (1) are the largest agranular leukocytes. The nucleus (1) varies from
round or oval to indented or horseshoe shaped and stains lighter than the
lymphocyte nucleus. The nuclear chromatin is finely dispersed in monocytes (1),
and the abundant cytoplasm is lightly basophilic with few fine granules.
Monocytes (1) constitute approximately 3% to 8% of blood leukocytes.
