Histologically it may be considered as a tissue composed of colorless blood cells and red blood cells, floating in a liquid, the blood plasma. The colorless cells originate in lymphoid tissue and in bone marrow. There are several varieties of colorless cells recognized, which includes the following: 1.

Large mononuclear leucocytes, three times as large as the red cells and containing a nucleus. 3. Transitional leucocytes representing a more advanced stage of development, and containing a nucleus often kidney shaped or indented. 4. Polynucleur leucocytes. This is the form found most abundand and represents the fully developed leucocyte. This variety is recognized by the distorted nucleus… | |
