Question

Differentiate between: Lymphocytes and Monocytes.

Answer 1

Hint: Lymphocytes and monocytes are both white blood cells. There are really five main kinds of white blood cells in the body. The other three are basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils.

Complete answer:
White blood cells are distributed into two categories, categorized like granulocytes and agranulocytes. Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils are located in granulocytes and monocytes and lymphocytes are agranulocytes. Granulocytes need granules extant in their cytoplasm whereas agranulocytes lack any type of granules in their cytoplasm.

Difference between lymphocytes and monocytes.

Lymphocytes	Monocytes
The size varies while encountering an infectious agent	Large and spherical shaped cells.
Makeup 20-30% of circulating WBCs.	Makeup 2-8% of circulating WBCs.
The cytoplasm is strong, translucent and sky blue in colour without granules.	The cytoplasm is dull, dense and blue-grey in colour with well lilac granules..
Lymphocytes are long-lasting cells which may be aware for months or years.	The lifecycle of mixing monocytes is about 24 hours.
The nucleus of a lymphocyte is thick, oval-shaped and strained with deep purplish-blue colour spots.	The nucleus of monocyte is easy, spongy, oval-shaped with pale bluish violet colour spots
Lymphocytes are tools for Adaptive Immunity. Destroy pathogens by producing antibodies.	Monocytes are the tools for Innate Immunity. Destroy pathogens through Phagocytosis.

Note: A lymphocyte is part of the immune system. Two main kinds of lymphocytes are as follows, T and B lymphocytes.
B lymphocytes produce antibodies against invading pathogens.
T lymphocytes terminate their own cell of the body that has been diseased by pathogens or developed as tumorous.
