Monocytes. When monocytes enter the tissue they are called Macrophages.
Monocytes
bone marrow
True
macrophages called epidermal dendritic cells
Macrophages are white blood cells that locate and phagocytize (eat) bacteria, viruses and dead or injured body cells. They also play a role in alerting the rest of the immune system to the presence of invaders. Macrophages arise from monocytes which are a type of white blood cells. When the monocytes leave the blood they become macrophages.
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.
macrophages are very good at the process of phagocytosis
No, macrophages are responsible for removing dying or dead cells in the early stages of inflammation. Macrophages essentially ingest these.
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
They become larger and turn into macrophages
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).
Macrophages engulf and digest antigens and remove necrotic cellular debis in the lungs.
macrophages engulf, or eat , any microorganisms or viruses that enter your body
