Lymphocytes are part of the human body's innate immune system. Natural killer cells seek out and destroy foreign cells by distinguishing surface molecules of major histocompatibility complex class.

White blood cells that ingest bacteria to prevent infe ction?
they're called phagocytes (literally, phago = eat, cytes = cells)
How do phagocytes protect cells?
Phagocytes are the white blood cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles such as bacteria and dead cells. Also they are essential for fighting infections and for subsequent immunity. Phagocytes are crucial in fighting infections, as well as in maintaining healthy tissues by removing dead and dying cells that have reached the end of their lifespan. During an infection, chemical signals attract phagocytes to places where the pathogen has invaded the body. These chemicals may come from bacteria or from other phagocytes already present. Hope this will help!
Are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substance as well as debris from dead cells?
Phagocytes or macrophages.
Bacteria within inflamed tissue are usually destroyed by what?
Bacteria within inflamed tissues are usually destroyed by phagocytes. The purpose of phagocyte cells is to protect the body from bacteria as well as other foreign particles.
Which are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as debris from dead cell?
I think Phagocytes
What phagocytes mean?
Phagocytes are the white blood cells that protect the body by ingesting (phagocytosing) harmful foreign particles, bacteria and dead or dying cells
What are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as dibris from dead cells?
white blood cells or immune system....
What is the difference between pathogen and phagocyte?
Phagocytes eat anything that seems foreign or harmful to the body (bacteria, virus, infected cells) in a process called phagocytosis. Macrophages are actually a type of phagocyte. They consume large amounts (or clumps) of foreign invaders. They are pretty slow in performing phagocytosis.
What marks foreign invaders and attracts phagocytes?
B cells release antibodies that attach to foreign invaders and mark them for destruction by phagocytes.
What are some ways microbes evade the body's immune system?
Microbes evade the immune system through inhibition of phagocytosis by affecting the receptors that phagocytes use to engulf bacteria or by mimicking host cells so that the immune system does not recognize them as foreign.
What group of proteins mark foreign invaders and attract phagocytes to destroy them?
B cells release antibodies that attach to foreign invaders and mark them for destruction by phagocytes.
