Descriptor Spanish: Sistema Mononuclear Fagocítico
Descriptor sistema mononuclear fagocítico
Entry term(s) SRE
sistema fagocítico mononuclear
sistema reticuloendotelial
Scope note: Células mononucleadas, con intensa capacidad fagocítica, distribuidas ampliamente en los órganos linfoides y de otros tipos. Incluye los MACRÓFAGOS y sus precursores, los FAGOCITOS, las CÉLULAS DE KUPFFER, los HISTIOCITOS, las CÉLULAS DENDRÍTICAS, las CÉLULAS DE LANGERHANS y la MICROGLÍA. El antiguo término sistema reticuloendotelial ha sido sustituido por el de sistema fagocítico mononuclear, que también incluye células con menos actividad fagocítica como los fibroblastos y las células endoteliales.

Scope note: Mononuclear cells with pronounced phagocytic ability that are distributed extensively in lymphoid and other organs. It includes MACROPHAGES and their precursors; PHAGOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS; HISTIOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and MICROGLIA. The term mononuclear phagocyte system has replaced the former reticuloendothelial system, which also included less active phagocytic cells such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
