Phagocytosis.
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.
Inducing phagocytosis.
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
Well actually, not a body part but the White Blood Cells in the body ingest microbes by the process called phagocytosis. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phagocytosis Also, lysosome which is found inside a cell has the ability to ingest microbes.
No, phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis.
Surrounding the food with pseudopod.
The main benefit of phagocytosis is that it is a natural defense against bacterial infection. Drawbacks are that you can get coiling phagocytosis and it could destroy good bacteria.
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.
