- Larger than lymphocyte
- Nucleus appears lobed
- More cytoplasm.
Draw a picture of the two main types of white blood – phagocyte and lymphocyte
White Blood Cells
plasma
There are small holes between the
endothelial cells of the capillary. This
allows for the exchange of materials.
Plasma is able to leak
out of the capillary, and
bathe all of the cells,
allowing for diffusion of

We call this plasma, the
‘tissue fluid’. It is also
able to carry heat from
the liver and muscles to
all parts of the body.
Substances can’t just move from the
blood to inside the cells – they need a
form of transport medium
