Macrophage
Macro, which means large in the small world. Their world is like ours in many ways. The inhabitants of their world such as the Macrophage needs to communicate with other cells in the structure of the immune system. But, they do not have ears, so they communicate with chemical signals and by feeling and touching. I guess you could say that they use braille. One way or another they have to identify what is good in the body and what needs to be destroyed. The Macrophage is an amazing part of the white blood cells that are in control of cleaning the body of waste ( dead cells) bacteria, toxins such as smoke particles.
Macrophage
Macrophages are white blood cells within tissues, produced by the differentiation of monocytes. Human macrophages are about 21 micrometres (0.00083 in) in diameter. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both non-specific defenses (innate immunity) as well as to help initiate specific defense mechanisms (adaptive immunity) of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytose (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens either as stationary or as mobile cells, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to the pathogen. They move by action of Amoeboid movement. Phagocytosis
