hi i was serching for the same an i found this
question:
Identify the processes by which the following substances enter a living macrophage: oxygen/cellular debris/water/glucose
answere:
processess: oxygen- by diffusion through the cell membrane
cellular debris- phagocytosis
water- by osmosis
glucose-by active transport via ion pump (usually in exchange with sodium)
I'm glad to help :D

thank u sooo much! i was searching for the same thing too! :) -Kristen

The term is "phagocyte." These cells engulf and digest pathogens as part of the immune response.
The macrophage is a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off infections.
A macrophage is a type of white blood cell; it is not a chromosome.
Oxygen enter the capillaries by diffusion due to difference in oxygen concentrations.
macrophage
function of alveolar macrophagesThe function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs is to remove dust particles and other debris from alveolar spaces. -SheshiAveolar macrophages work to break up surfactanct in the aveoli which exists to decrease surface tension in the lungs. If there is a disorder where the macrophage does not function correctly, such as in PAP, the surfactant will not be broken up and decreased ventilation will occur resulting in less oxygen delivery.

The part of a foreign substance that is insertde into a macrophage membrane?
The cytokines that an activated macrophage secretes attract and activate other cells of the immune system.
The word "macrophage" originates from Greek. It is derived from the Greek words "makros," meaning large, and "phagein," meaning to eat. So, macrophage literally means "big eater."
