Peritoneal Macrophages

  • Chapter
The Peritoneum

Abstract

Cells composing the mononuclear phagocyte system share a similar morphology, bone marrow origin, and avid phagocytic capacity. Cells currently assigned to the mononuclear phagocyte system are listed in Table 6.1 and include precursor cells in the bone marrow, and monocytes and macrophages present in the tissues and body cavities under normal conditions, inflammation, and postsurgical repair.
