Monocytes(white blood cells) are the largest cells of the blood (averaging 15–18 μm in diameter), and they make up about 7 percent of the leukocytes.

White blood cells are larger than red blood cells. This means that while size is very differential, there are less white blood cells to occupy the spaces. White blood cells tend to grow in size whenever an infection is present.
