What else can I help you with?
True or false Monocytes arise from the bone marrow and later develop into macrophages?
True. Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream until they migrate into tissues where they differentiate into macrophages.
Which organ does NOT contain fixed macrophages?
The brain does not contain fixed macrophages. Instead, microglia serve as the resident macrophages in the brain.
Name the formed elements that arise from myeloid stem cells?
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).
Some monocytes enter the tissues and mature into phagocytic cells called?
Macrophages
What are bacteria within the buboes attacked by?
Macrophages
True or false Monocytes arise from the bone marrow and later develop into macrophages?
True. Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream until they migrate into tissues where they differentiate into macrophages.
Macrophage is a part of the non-specific immune system what does it do?
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.
Which cells arise from bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis?
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.
How do macrophages replicate?
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.
Which organ does NOT contain fixed macrophages?
The brain does not contain fixed macrophages. Instead, microglia serve as the resident macrophages in the brain.
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.
Name the formed elements that arise from myeloid stem cells?
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).
What is alveolar macrophages also known as?
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
What happens to monocytes when they enter tissues?
They become larger and turn into macrophages
What is murine 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.
Some monocytes enter the tissues and mature into phagocytic cells called?
Macrophages
What are immature monocytes?
MACROPHAGES (Some Monocytes enter tissue, enlarge, and Mature into Macrophages).
