Macrophages are immune system cells that are vital to the development of non-specific defense mechanisms that provide the first line of defense against pathogens. These large immune cells are present in nearly all tissues and actively remove dead and damaged cells, bacteria, cancerous cells, and cellular debris from the body.

What is Macrophages?

Macrophages are specialized cells that hunt for, engulf, and kill bacteria and other dangerous organisms. They can also activate other cells by releasing substances known as cytokines, which present antigens to T cells and start an inflammatory response.

Blood monocytes that leave the bloodstream to differentiate in various organs give rise to macrophages. Each macrophage population exhibits significant variety, which most likely reflects the level of specialization necessary for each tissue's environment.

What is the percentage of calories were absorbed by your system??? Helpppp
denpristay [2]
Calories in and of themselves aren't a reliable way of describing energy density in food. It doesn't reflect what actually happens in your body (look up bomb-calorimeter for how people figure out calorie content in foods). So based on this, the question is a bit of a non-sequitur. But if you disregard that and go with a regular answer, it really depends on what kind of calories you're ingesting because foods get digested in a function of different amounts of time. Carbohydrates will get digested and converted into glucose almost immediately - being very close to 100% energy efficiency. Fats are the slowest as your body needs to produce bile in order to digest it - not enough bile = undigested fat = unused calories. Proteins are turned into either amino acids (not an energy source per se) or converted into glucose like carbs but instead through gluconeogenesis which is a less efficient form of glucose conversion than carbohydrates (since your liver/kidneys need to produce the enzymes to convert it). The efficiency of protein is likely in the range of 50-60% calories. This is just the tip of the iceberg though - your metabolism also plays a part as to how much and when these calories are either used, stored, and excreted by your body. Ever got the meat sweats? That's your body burning excess energy through thermogenesis when you eat too much protein. So it really depends why you're asking because the answer will differ for each scenario.
