In order to defend our body, macrophages release chemicals that are toxic to eliminate diseases and harmful foreign bodies. They also secrete growth factors that are essential in healing wounds.

What do macrophages secrete?
IL-1 IL-12 IL-6 and TNF -a
Which cells produce and secrete antibodies that set up bacterial invaders for subsequent destruction by macrophages?
B Cells
Does a gland secrete Chemical messengers called leucocytes?
glands secrete chemical messengers called leucocytes?
What organs secrete enzymes which begin chemical digestion in the mouth?
The salivary glands in the mouth secrete enzymes in saliva that begin chemical digestion.
What chemical substances are released by macrophages and white blood cells that cause an upward resetting of the bodys thermostat?
cytokines
What does the endocrin system secrete?
The Endocrine System secretes chemical messages called hormones.
What Endocrine glands secrete .?
Endocrine glands secrete chemical messengers called hormones. These chemicals are secreted directly into the bloodstream, where they are carried by the circulatory system to target tissues throughout the body.
How do macrophages replicate?
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.
What gland secrete chemical substances into the duct that lead either to other organs or out the body?
Exocrine glands
What are the functions of macrophages?
macrophages are very good at the process of phagocytosis
Does lymphoid macrophages secrete antibodies into the blood?
There's a lot we don't currently know about lymphoid (ED3) Macrophages but it's relatively safe to assume that they do not have any major role in secreting antibodies. Macrophages tend to engulf and enzymatically destroy foreign objects in the body, this is their major purpose, if that object is coated in antibodies they're better at destroying it but they do not produce those antibodies themselves. The only real way that macrophages affect antibody production is that after destruction of intruder they'll present elements of the intruder to another variety of immune cell which will then go on to produce antibodies, it's also possible that they will produce interleukins or other compounds to upregulate antibody production but again: macrophages are not known to produce antibodies.
Are macrophages responsible for allergic reactions?
No, macrophages are responsible for removing dying or dead cells in the early stages of inflammation. Macrophages essentially ingest these.
