Macrophages are a fundamental component of the immune system, categorized as white blood cells {fact:1, fact:5} and derived from myeloid progenitor cells {fact:2, fact:6}. They function as phagocytes that contribute to innate immunity {fact:3, fact:7} and actively regulate the immune response by secreting cytokines {fact:4, fact:8} and migrating to sites of infection [1].

claimMacrophages play a critical role in activating other parts of the immune system by secreting chemical signals called cytokines after ingesting a pathogen.
claimMacrophages activate other parts of the immune system by secreting chemical signals called cytokines after ingesting a pathogen, which recruits other immune cells to the area and leads to inflammation.
