what is the function of a macrophage
A macrophage is a large white blood cell that is an important part of our immune system. The word 'macrophage' literally means 'big eater.' It is an amoeba-like organism and its job is to clean our body of microscopic debris and invaders.he remaining debris, or what is left of the particle, exits the macrophage to be absorbed back into the body. Macrophages clean up a wide variety of unwanted foreign bodies. Like a bouncer at a nightclub, these large defenders get the job done.
