Another name for a macrophage is a "big eater," derived from the Greek words "macro" (large) and "phage" (to eat). In some contexts, macrophages may also be referred to as "histiocytes," especially when they are located in connective tissue. These immune cells are crucial for engulfing and digesting cellular debris, pathogens, and other foreign substances.
