Phagocytosis
White blood cells fight infection by engulfing and destroying pathogens through a process called phagocytosis and by releasing chemicals such as cytokines to recruit other immune cells and stimulate an immune response.
Neutrophils are white blood cells that play a key role in the immune system's response to infection. They are able to move quickly to sites of infection, engulf and destroy pathogens through phagocytosis, release toxic chemicals to kill bacteria, and can undergo a process called NETosis to trap and kill pathogens with DNA fibers.
The chief function of white blood cells is to defend the body against infection and disease by identifying and destroying pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They achieve this through various mechanisms, including phagocytosis, releasing antibodies, and coordinating immune responses.
Disrupting the pathogen's cell membrane or wall using physical or chemical means. Inhibiting the pathogen's metabolic processes or replication through heat, radiation, or disinfectants. Blocking the pathogen's ability to infect host cells or evade the immune system through antibodies or antiviral drugs.
Phagocytes use phagocytosis, also Macrophages (or white blood cells) use phagocytosis to engulf and destroy pathogens.
phagocytosis
I'm not sure if you're looking for a more specific answer, but phagocytes engluf pathogens and wastes via phagocytosis.
Phagocytosis is the medical term meaning digestion and ingestion of microorganisms by white blood cells.
phagocytosis of damaged cells, pathogens or non-organic material in the body.
PhagocytosisPhagocytes make up three-quarters of the body's white blood cells. They destroy pathogens by engulfing them.It's called phagocytosis. Macrophages mainly phagocytose the pathogens.
