Reticuloendothelial system- Formation,Classification
RETICULOENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM
- Reticuloendothelial system is also known as mononuclear phagocytic system
FORMATION:
- Bone marrow ,monocyte circulate in blood for 3 days they attain maturity,ability to phagocytose gets converted to macrophage -tissue macrophage gets scattered in different body parts and collectively called "tissue-macrophage system'.
FOUND IN:
1)Endothelial lining of vascular and lymph node
2)Connective tissue and some organ like spleen ,liver,lungs,lymph node etc.
CLASSIFICATION:
1) FIXED RETICULOENDOTHELIAL CELLS
2)WANDERING CELL
1) FIXED RETICULOENDOTHELIAL CELLS:
- Location- tissue
Found in :
- Connective tissue : serous membrane of pleura
- Endothelium of blood of sinusoid; liver,spleen,lymph node
- Reticulum; spleen,lymph node
- Central nervous system :microglia
- Lungs: alveoli of lungs
2) WANDERING CELL:
A)IN BLOOD:
- NEUTROPHIL
- MONOCYTE
B)IN SOLID TISSUE
- Only during emergency
- Connective tissue and other organs come to play
FUNCTION:
1)Role in inflammation and healing
2)Role in defense against bacteria
