Where would you expect to find the hepatic macrophages of the liver?

In what organ are air sacks called alveoli found?

How does silicosis start?
What is known is that particles of silica dust get trapped in the tiny sacs (alveoli) in the lungs where air exchange takes place. White blood cells called macrophages in the alveoli ingest the silica and die.
Are macrophages found in areolar and lymphatic tissues?
Yes, macrophages can be found in areolar and lymphatic tissues. Areolar tissue contains a variety of immune cells, including macrophages, which play a role in defending the body against pathogens. In lymphatic tissues, such as lymph nodes, macrophages are also present to help filter and eliminate foreign particles and pathogens from the lymphatic fluid.
