Types of white blood cells can be classified in standard ways . Two pairs of broadest categories classify them either by structure ( granulocytes or agranulocytes ) or by cell division lineage ( myeloid cells or lymphoid cells ) . These broadest categories can be further divided into the five main types : neutrophils , eosinophils ( acidophilus ) , basophils , lymphocytes , and monocytes . These types are distinguished by their physical and functional characteristics . Monocytes and neutrophils are phagocytic . Further subtypes can be classified ; for example , among lymphocytes , there are B cells , T cells , and NK cells . 

Answer: answer: Yes, they are. The two broadest categories classify white cells by structure ( granulocytes or agranulocytes ) or cell division lineage ( myeloid or lymphoid cells ). These can be divided into five primary types: neutrophils, eosinophils (acidophilus), basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. The T cells are classified as a subtype of white cells.
answer: Yes, T cells are classified as a subtype of white cells.
