White Blood Cells
White blood cells have specialized receptors on their surface that allow them to recognize and bind to pathogens. They also have the ability to migrate towards sites of infection or inflammation and can engulf and destroy pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. Additionally, white blood cells produce antibodies that can help neutralize and eliminate pathogens.
Yes, white blood cells can ingest pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. This allows white blood cells to destroy and eliminate harmful pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, from the body.
No. Only white blood cells destroys pathogens, such as viruses.
antibodies in the blood kill pathogens in the blood
B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, are responsible for producing antibodies. These antibodies bind to specific pathogens, like bacteria or viruses, marking them for destruction by the immune system.
Antibodies are released by B-lymphocytes (one of thekinds of white blood cells)
White blood cells destroy microorganisms through phagocytosis, where they engulf and digest the invaders. They can also release toxic chemicals to kill the microorganisms, or activate the immune system to produce antibodies that specifically target the pathogens. Additionally, some white blood cells can directly attack and destroy infected cells.
The main function of white blood cells (also commonly referred to as leucocytes) is to defend against foreign invading pathogens that may enter the body. They do this as they are phagocytes, in that they engulf pathogens and destroy them. Therefore, the function of a white blood cell is to defend the body against infection.
