How many phagocytes do you have in your body?

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.Answer 6 billion times 5 = 30 billion.

Why do white blood cells use endocytosis?

White blood cells use endocytosis to engulf any pathogens such as bacteria. By trapping the bacteria, the lysosomes in the cell can destroy the pathogen. A lysosome is a vacuole in a cell that is full of digestive enzymes. The Lysosome digests old cell organelles, invaders, and food. This explains why White Blood Cells are part of the immune system.


The function of a phagocyte is?

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.

What are white blood cells that can engulf pathogens called?

once the White blood cell (WBC) recognizes a pathogen it will use its plasma membrane to engulf the pathogen (endocytosis). the plasma membrane wraps itself around the pathogen bringing it in to the cytoplasm of the cell. it then will break off once the pathogen is inside enough. the pathogen with its surrounding plasma membrane forms an vesicle inside the larger macrophage (WBC). the vesicle and its contents are digested by the cell through the use of digestive enzymes and lysosomes.

How does oxygen transport work in the human body?

Oxygen is transported in the human body by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues in the body, where it is released for cells to use in cellular respiration. The carbon dioxide produced is then transported back to the lungs to be exhaled.


How do phagocytes protect against pathogens?

Activated by lymphocytes, Polymorph phagocytes absorb or envelope mostly bacteria, compartmentalize it, barrage it with enzymes attempting to destroy it, or radically alter it. Macrophages injest and destroy a wider variety of invaders, including viruses, and act as anitgen presenting cells which serve to increase immune response. Some epithelial and reticular cells also act as phagocytes in that the can injest and destroy or remove invaders.
