Physiology

Macrophage

A large irregular amoeboid macrophage depicted as an active phagocytic immune cell, with an uneven softly ruffled outline and several short broad pseudopod-like membrane projections. The cell has abundant pale cytoplasm in blue-gray, tan, beige, light purple, or pale pink tones, with a subtle granular texture and occasional small vacuoles or vesicle-like inclusions. A single darker off-center nucleus is present, typically oval, bean-shaped, or kidney-shaped, sometimes appearing more rounded. Overall the cell appears as a large motile phagocyte with subtle lobed membrane extensions.
