Question

Which cell in human body is also called scavenger cells?

Answer 1

Macrophage cells are called scavenger cells of human body.

Explanation:

• Macrophages are immune system white blood cells that engulf and devour everything that does not have proteins specific to healthy body cells on its surface, such as cancer cells, bacteria, cellular debris, foreign substances, and so on.
• Their job is to phagocytize dead cells and germs in order to heal the lesion. Pro-wound healing macrophages are found in proliferation.
• Macrophages are created through the differentiation of monocytes, one of the immune system's key white blood cell groupings.
• Thus, they are called the scavenger cells of human body.
