The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given cells are tissue macrophages, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Macrophages**: - Macrophages are large white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system by performing phagocytosis, which is the process of engulfing and digesting cellular debris and pathogens. 2. **Identify Each Cell Type**: - **Kupffer Cells**: These are specialized macrophages located in the liver. They are responsible for filtering blood and removing pathogens and dead cells. - **T-Lymphocytes**: These are a type of white blood cell that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity. They are not classified as macrophages. - **B-Lymphocytes**: These are another type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. They are also not macrophages. - **Megakaryocytes**: These are large bone marrow cells that produce platelets (thrombocytes) and are not involved in phagocytosis or classified as macrophages. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the listed cells, only Kupffer cells are classified as tissue macrophages. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: "first only". ### Final Answer: The tissue macrophages among the given options are **Kupffer cells** (option A). ---

[A] : Macrophage is a large amoeboid cell that can engulf, ingest and destroy bacteria, damaged cells and worn-out red blood cells. This process is called phagocytosis and is an important part of the body s defence against disease. [R]: Macrophages are found free (wandering) in the tissues, in connective tissue (as histiocytes), in the lining of the blood sinusoids of the liver (as Kupffer cells), and in lymphoid tissue. They make up the reticulo-endothelial system.
