Lymphocytes are the "agranulocytes" in larger number in blood.
monocytes
Macrophages. Macrophages are monocytes that have gained the ability to phagocytize bacteria in the tissues. They are agranular because, when stained, they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. This is just a classification of leukocytes (or white blood cells).
AgranulocyteWhit blood cells without cytoplasmic granules
The agranular ER is involved in making lipids and steroids, the granular is involved in making membranes and secreting proteins as they are extensions of the nuclear membrane. The smooth, agranular, and the rough, granular, are continuations of the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
lymphocytes and monocytes
Agranular ER is attached to granular ER at all times. As granular ER is involved in making membrane and secreting proteins, and agranular ER is involved in making lipids and steroids, the percentage will differ according to the function of the cell.
no, it is a granular leukocyte.
monocyte lymphocyte
Granular leukocytes have multilobed nuclei that function against non specific invading agents in the body. Agranular leukocytes contain a single neuleus not sure about their function...

Leukocytes and Monocytes
Macrophages. Macrophages are monocytes that have gained the ability to phagocytize bacteria in the tissues. They are agranular because, when stained, they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. This is just a classification of leukocytes (or white blood cells).
Granular Leukocytes account for about 50-70% of all WBCs, and include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Agranular Leukocytes account for 25-35% of all WBCs. They include lymphocytes and monocytes. Apart from the difference in function regarding each individual type of white blood cell, the primary difference between granular and agranular leukocytes is that the former has visible granules, whereas the later does on have any noticeable granules.
