I have no idea. However, Let me show you how to go about getting an answer to this question. The sources I use will be in the related links I will make below if you need to check my research.
- As I know that Phagocytes are part of the blood tissue, I will look for the number of phagocytes in a volume of blood. I found a Wikipedia article that provides this - "One litre of human blood has about six billion phagocytes".
- I now need to know the average adult blood volume. I found a Wikipedia article that gave this information - "A typical adult has a blood volume of approximately between 4.7 and 5 litres" - lets use 5 litres for ease.
- We now have the number of Phagocytes in a litre of human blood and know that the human body hold 5 litres of blood. If we multiply the two together we will get a good approximation of the number of Phagocytes in the human body.

How bacteria are destroyed by phagocytes?
It is Excreted from the body.
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
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!
White blood cells that ingest bacteria to prevent infe ction?
they're called phagocytes (literally, phago = eat, cytes = cells)
What cells of the human body use phagocytes and why?
White Blood Cells yo.

Which cells are able to protect the body by engulfing foreign cells or protecting antibodies?
Phagocytes
How do phagocytes protect the body?
Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell. A phagocyte flows around bacteria, and sort of creates and dent in itself, which the bacteria goes into, and then the phagocyte closes around it, trapping the bacteria. Then the phagocyte secretes enzmes onto the bacteria to digest it.
What destroys microorganisims that are not part of the body?
White blood cells(Phagocytes, and killer T-cells.)
Can phagocytes engulf bacteria?
Yes, phagocytes can engulf germs
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.
What tissue is phagocytes found in?
Most are found circulating through the body as parts of the immune system, but a few of the tissues that have their own dedicated phagocytes that are not immune cell are Skin, Blood vessels, Connective tissue, and Blood.
