Agranulocytes

Agranulocytes are a type of leucocyte (white blood cell).
These are distinguished from the other category of leucocytes (which are called granulocytes) by the fact that agranulocytes do not contain chemical-filled cytoplasmic vesicles called "granules".

 

There are two important types of agranulocytes:

 

lymphocytes, and

monocytes.

 

 

The most important functions of agranulocytes (a type of white blood cells) are immune functions. Further information is included on the pages about each of these types of agranulocytes - use the links above.


For more information about other components (or "constituents") of blood, see the page about:
The Structure and Functions of Blood. This may interest students of massage, reflexology, beauty therapies, or other health or clinical courses.
