They form part of sinusoid wall of the liver, and remove debris such as bacteria and worn out blood cells from the blood as it flows past. Also kown as Kupffer Cells
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.

They become larger and turn into macrophages
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
Murine means "of, related to, or affecting rodents of the family Muridae," like mice. Murine macrophages are simply macrophages of these types of animals.
MACROPHAGES (Some Monocytes enter tissue, enlarge, and Mature into Macrophages).

Monocytes. When monocytes enter the tissue they are called Macrophages.
