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.

What immune cell allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response?
White blood cells, or leukocytes. The two basic types of leukocytes are: # phagocytes, cells that destroy invading organisms. # lymphocytes, cells cause the body to remember and recognize previous invaders and help the body destroy them.
What part of the immune system does not target specific microbial invaders?
Certain types of white blood cells (the "fighter" cells in the immune system) do not have specific microbial targets. Phagocytes engulf a wide range of "foreign" invaders and destroy them. A form of phagocyte, eosinophil, secrete enzymes and destroy a wide range of pathogens. Macrophages also destroy a wide range of microbial invaders rather than having particular targets. Non-phagocytic cells which are non-specific are Basophils and Mast cells, using chemicals to destruct foreign bodies and restricting blood vessels respectively.

What is phagocytize bacteria?
In the process of phagocytosis, phagocytes surround and engulf pathogens (such as bacteria) and use lysosomal enzymes to destroy the germs.
