This image contains two neutrophils and a small lymphocyte. Note how the lymphocyte contains a scant amount of basophilic cytoplasm, and the nucleus has a slight indention. Lymphocytes are the primary circulating leukocyte (WBC) in cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. The lymphocyte is the only leukocyte that may return to the blood from the tissues. Click on [Lg.
