Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are different types of granulocytes, while lymphocytes and monocytes are the agranulocytes.  Lymphocytes are of two major types – ‘B’ and ‘T’ forms. Both B and T lymphocytes are responsible for immune responses of the body.B lymphocytes are responsible for humoral immunity and T lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity. Hence lymphocytes are not phagocytic.
