Cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as debris from dead cells are called macrophage. Macrophage also stimulate white blood cells to respond to pathogens.

What Cells in a lymph node that engulf and destroy damaged cells foreign substances and cellular debris?
Macrophages
What do macrophage do?
Macrophages are "big eaters" and are a type of white blood cell that engulf and digest cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis.
Are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substance as well as debris from dead cells?
Phagocytes or macrophages.
Which are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as debris from dead cell?
I think Phagocytes
What cellular organelle is especially abundant in phagocyte white blood cells?
Phagocytic white blood cells contain a large number of lysosomes. These organelles contain enzymes that break down waste and cellular debris - which is why phagocytes (which engulf and digest things) contain many lysosomes.
What does macrophages do?
Macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both non-specific defense as well as to help initiate specific defense mechanisms of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytose (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens either as stationary or mobile cells, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to the pathogen.
Specialized cells that ingest microbes or other particles such as cellular debris?
Endocytosis is the action of cells engulfing other cells. Usually when a cell tries to engulf another cell and digest it, it would need some type of enzymes such acid hydrolases or others, to break down those engulfed matter. These cells are usually referred to as Lysosome cells. C for Plato users
What does the lysome do for a cell?
Lysosomesare cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. They are found in animal cells, while in yeast and plants the same roles are performed by lytic vacuoles. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulf viruses or bacteria
Does white blood cells called basophils engulf and digest bacteria?
White blood cells are blood cells that engulf and digest bacteria and fungi. Basophil is a white blood cell with granules that stain with basic dyes.
What are nerve cells that engulf cellular waste and destroy microorganisms in nerve tissue?
microglial cells
Where are lysomes found?
Lysosomes are found in both animal and plant cells. They break down wastes and cellular debris. They digest worn out organelles as well.
Cells that engulf bacteria or cell debris within loose connective tissue are?
macrophages.
