All cells have a membrane that distinguishes their internal contents from the surrounding fluid or tissue. Remember, smaller entities such as virus or prions are not cells, but rather just protein complexes.

The term "lymphocyte" refers to white blood cells. Unlike red blood cells, which stay in what we term the "blood", lymphocytes can move between the blood system and the areas called the "lymphatic system." Here, the fluid is mostly like the serum in the Blood supply.

White blood cells originate, mostly, in the bone marrow. They are mostly created with a single nucleus, although some are created without a nucleus at all. As white blood cells mature, they develope more nuclei. There are diseases which attack white blood cells. One of these is "mononucleosis", in which mature white blood cells are killed and removed from the system in large numbers, causing the number of single-nucleus white blood cells to predominate. (Mono is the Greek prefix for "one".)

So in a healthy human, lymphocytes can have many nuclei, few nuclei, only one nucleus, or no nucleus at all!

A lymphocyte is a cell which does contain a cell nucleus, which is not exactly the same as containing a nucleus cell. Word order counts.
