Activated by lymphocytes, Polymorph phagocytes absorb or envelope mostly bacteria, compartmentalize it, barrage it with enzymes attempting to destroy it, or radically alter it. Macrophages injest and destroy a wider variety of invaders, including viruses, and act as anitgen presenting cells which serve to increase immune response. Some epithelial and reticular cells also act as phagocytes in that the can injest and destroy or remove invaders.
