| macrophage |
A type of tissue cells that is derived from the blood monocyte. The monocyte migrates from the blood into tissues where it transforms into a macrophage. Macrophages are present in most tissues. The cell takes many forms and has several functions. Three examples of macrophage functions are 1) ingest and degrade debris during tissue repair and remodeling, 2) ingest and kill or contain the growth of microorganisms, and 3) process and present antigens to lymphocytes.
