Best Answer

The white blood cells in your body fight infection by phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis which is the movement of materials into the cell. You can look at the process kind of like sticking your finger into a balloon. The material gets completely surrounded, the membrane pinches together forming a vesicle inside the cytoplasm of the cell!
