EM 212 Macrophage

Macrophage

The extruded nuclei from developing red blood cells are phagocytized by macrophages. The nuclei within phagosomes are digested by degradative enzymes delivered by lysosomes.

  • (blue) - eccentric location
    • - found at the center of nucleus
  • Phagosomes (dark blue) containing nuclei in various stages of digestion
    • Two relatively intact
    • of the thin rim of cytoplasm that surrounds extruded nuclei
    • Partially digested nuclei (,)
  • (yellow) - prominent
