Detailed explanation-1: -Macrophages work as innate immune cells through phagocytosis and sterilization of foreign substances such as bacteria, and play a central role in defending the host from infection. However, residual macrophages in intestinal mucosa can potentially reduce inflammation to a greater extent than those in other tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phagocytosis is a cellular process for ingesting and eliminating particles larger than 0.5 m in diameter, including microorganisms, foreign substances, and apoptotic cells. Phagocytosis is found in many types of cells and it is, in consequence an essential process for tissue homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macrophages are essential for the maintenance and defence of host tissues, doing so by sensing and engulfing particulate matter and, when necessary, initiating a pro-inflammatory response. They migrate to and circulate within almost every tissue, patrolling for pathogens or eliminating dead cells.
