Phagocytes are very important components of our body's immunity (innate immunity). They are cells that can phagocytose foreign microbes (engulfing microbes by the cell membrane) and then they use enzymes to break down these foreign microbes. Phagocytes may also present the remnants of the microbe to a different type of cells (lymphocytes) to create a memory of that microbe in the body.
