  2. Histiocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histiocyte

    However, the term histiocyte has been used for multiple purposes in the past, and some cells called "histocytes" do not appear to derive from monocytic-macrophage lines. [3] The term Histiocyte can also simply refer to a cell from monocyte origin outside the blood system, such as in a tissue (as in rheumatoid arthritis as palisading histiocytes ...

  3. Monocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocyte

    Monocytes can migrate into tissues and replenish resident macrophage populations. Macrophages have a high antimicrobial and phagocytic activity and thereby protect tissues from foreign substances. They are cells that possess a large smooth nucleus, a large area of cytoplasm, and many internal vesicles for processing foreign material.

  4. Macrophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage

    Like macrophages, intestinal macrophages are differentiated monocytes, though intestinal macrophages have to coexist with the microbiome in the intestines. This is a challenge considering the bacteria found in the gut are not recognized as "self" and could be potential targets for phagocytosis by the macrophage.

  5. Mononuclear phagocyte system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mononuclear_phagocyte_system

    The cells are primarily monocytes and macrophages, and they accumulate in lymph nodes and the spleen. The Kupffer cells of the liver and tissue histiocytes are also part of the MPS. The mononuclear phagocyte system and the monocyte macrophage system refer to two different entities, often mistakenly understood as one. [citation needed]

  6. Wandering cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_cell

    Their main function is the storage of lipid. Macrophages arise from monocytes. Monocytes originate in the bone marrow upon which they are released into the blood stream. They are mobile and leave the blood stream to enter connective tissues where they differentiate into macrophages. The fibroblasts are the most important in the connective tissue.

  7. Monoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoblast

    The monoblast is the first stage of monocyte-macrophage maturation. The developmental stages of the monoblast are: CFU-GM (pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell or hemocytoblast) -> monoblast -> promonocyte-> monocyte-> macrophage/dendritic cell. During their development, monocytes are present in large packs in all of the lymph nodes in the body ...

    General macrophage targets [10] [8] Kupffer cell: Monocyte: Macrophage: Stellate macrophages; Kupffer–Browicz cells; Liver macrophage; Macrophagocytus stellatus; 20-21 Foreign debris; General macrophage targets [11] [8] Alveolar macrophage: Monocyte: Macrophage: Pulmonary macrophage; Dust cell; 20-21 Carbon debris from lungs; General ...

  9. Giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_cell

    Giant cells are also known to develop when infections are present. They were first observed as early as the middle of the last century, but it is not fully understood why these reactions occur. In the process of giant cell formation, monocytes or macrophages fuse together, which could cause multiple problems for the immune system. [citation needed]
