The type of leukocyte that becomes a macrophage is a monocyte. Macrophages are cells that digest cellular debris and pathogens.
A Macrophage is a differentiated monocyte.
No. Macrophages and lymphocytes are different types of leukocytes (WBCs).
monocytes
Spleen
Macrophages stimulate the production of other lymphocytes. They are produced by the differentiation of monocytes in tissues.
Lymph nodes are located along lymphatic pathways, and contain lymphocytes and macrophages, which destroy invading microorganisms. They remove and destroy potentially harmful foreign particles from the lymph through phagocytosis by macrophages. They are also the centers for the production of lymphocytes that act against foreign particles.Lymph nodes are located along lymphatic pathways, and contain lymphocytes and macrophages, which destroy invading microorganisms.

Lymphocytes and macrophages
White blood cells, more specifically B-lymphocytes.
Macrophages ingest microorganisms and cellular debris. Lymphocytes monitor the lymphatic stream for the presence of antigens and mount an immune response. Because there are fewer efferent vessels draining the node than afferent vessels that feed it, the flow of lymph through the node stagnates somewhat, allowing time for the lymphocytes and macrophages to work.
some B lymphocytes are taken by macrophages to lymph nodes during the invasion the pathogen. The macrophages the exposes the pathogen's antigens to the B cells in the lymph nodes,The B cells with the matching receptor of the specific antigens respond by dividing repeatedly by mitosis, producing huge numbers over a few weeks.
The adaptive or specific defense mechanisms: lymphocytes, antibodies, and macrophages.
The seven types of leukocytes are: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes. Neutrophils, basophils, esinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes are the five most commonly thought of.
Yes, the lymphocytes neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B-lymphocytes. The are the primary method the body uses to remove free microorganisms in blood and tissue fluids.
