microphage.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I think it will be kupffer cells

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Though it is a macrophage (specialised one) which is present in the linings of sinusoids of lever

OpenStudy (abhisar):

There is a very minor difference between microphages and macrophages

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are right Abhisar.

Sure..!! Post it as a new question. For that u will have to close this one first

@Anjalibiotech @Abhisar Well, from what I am found, there is not specific microphage types, but as Abhisar said, it is probably actually the Kupffer cells (which are macrophages).
