How is phagocytes similar to lymphocytes?

A phagocyte is a cell that "eats" something, like for example a pathogen/ antigen. Like a pacman kind of cell (sorry for being a child of my generation ;-). Now, being a lymphocyte says nothing more than that the cell is a part of the humoral immune system. And since a B-lymphocyte eats an antigen in its process of immunological defence, it is also a phagocyte. Hence, phagocyte is a classification that decribes the MO of the cell. There are also other phagocytes like for example macrophages (they eat a lot), monocytes or dendritic cells.
