Descriptions
Macrophages (Greek:big eaters, makros = large, phagein = eat) are cells that derive from blood monocytes. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both nonspecific defense (or innate immunity) as well as specific defense (or cell-mediated immunity). Their role is to phagocytize (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to a foreign antigen.

A monocyte is a mononuclear leukocyte, intimately involved in the initiaton of an immune response. It also protects against blood-borne pathogens and migrates quickly to sites of infection in the tissues. Monocytes are usually identified in stained smears by their large bilobed nucleus. They are produced by the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cell precursors called monoblasts. The monoblast is the first stage of monocyte maturation. The developmental stages (4 subtypes) of the monocytes are: monoblast, promonocyte, immature monocyte, and mature monocyte.
