Monocytes. When monocytes enter the tissue they are called Macrophages.
True. Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream until they migrate into tissues where they differentiate into macrophages.
The brain does not contain fixed macrophages. Instead, microglia serve as the resident macrophages in the brain.
Formed elements that arise from myeloid stem cells include erythrocytes (red blood cells), megakaryocytes (platelets), granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils), and monocytes (which differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells).

True. Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream until they migrate into tissues where they differentiate into macrophages.
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.
Melanocytes are cells that arise from the neural crest during development and migrate to the epidermis. They are responsible for producing the pigment melanin, which contributes to skin color and protection from UV radiation.
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.
The brain does not contain fixed macrophages. Instead, microglia serve as the resident macrophages in the brain.
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).
