The mononuclear phagocyte system (also called reticuloendothelial system or macrophage system) is a part of the immune system that consists of the phagocytic cells located in reticular connective tissue. Alveolar macrophages are rounded, granular, mononuclear phagocytes within the alveoli of the lungs that ingest inhaled particulate matter. They are called as dust cells. Kupffer cells constitute 80-90% of the tissue macrophages present in the body. They reside within the lumen of the liver sinusoids. So, the correct answer is 'Dust cells'
