The most abundant leucocyte (neutrophil) is a granulocyte while the least abundant leucocyte (basophil) is also a granulocyte. The largest leucocyte (monocyte) is an agranulocyte while the smallest leucocyte (lymphocyte) is also an agranulocyte. Phagocytic leucocytes are neutrophils (granulocyte) and monocyte (agranulocyte). Polymorphonuclear leucocytes (neutrophils) are the largest granulocyte while the largest agranulocyte (monocyte) has a kidney shaped nucleus.
