When Neutrophils Leave the Blood and Enter the Tissue,they Are

Question

When neutrophils leave the blood and enter the tissue,they are called macrophages.

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils and macrophages are two different types of immune cells. Neutrophils are the first responders to a site of infection or injury and can enter tissues, but they do not transform into macrophages. Macrophages are a separate type of immune cell that are derived from a different precursor cell and have a different function in the immune response.
