Among them, macrophages are the most active cells that exhibit phagocytosis, and most of them are derived from monocytes in the blood, so macrophages and monocytes are collectively called the mononuclear phagocytic system. Macrophages derived from sources other than blood belong to the so-called reticuloendothelial system, such as histiocytes in tissues, Kupffer stellate cells in the liver, alveolar macrophages in the lungs, macrophages in lymph nodes and spleens, and macrophages derived from the pleural and peritoneal epithelium. … *Some of the terminology that refers to the "mononuclear phagocytic system" is listed below.
