MACROPHAGES (Some Monocytes enter tissue, enlarge, and Mature into Macrophages).
Macrophages arise from circulating monocytes in the bloodstream. Upon reaching tissues, monocytes mature into macrophages, which play a key role in the immune response by phagocytizing pathogens and debris, and regulating inflammation and immune system activation.
Macrophages
Monocytes mature into different types of macrophages.

Macrophages
Macrophages are a type of white blood cell derived from monocytes. They play a key role in the immune response by engulfing and digesting pathogens, dead cells, and debris. Macrophages are important for initiating inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
Monocytes are the cells that develop into macrophages. Monocytes circulate in the bloodstream until they are recruited to tissues where they differentiate into macrophages. This process is usually triggered by inflammatory signals.
Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that begin their lives as monocytes. monocytes develop into macrophages or dendritic cells. For stem cells, please visit BOC Sciences
They become larger and turn into macrophages
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.
