Solution

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that engulf and digest cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, and anything else that does not have the types of proteins specific to healthy body cells on its surface in a process called phagocytosis.

So, the materials consumed by macrophages are:

  • Viruses
  • Cellular debris
  • Bacteria

Blood cells are not typically consumed by macrophages unless they are damaged or diseased.
