Im pretty sure its the white blood cell. it has receptors on it that match the skins of other cells that are supposed to be in the body. those that aren't it envelopes and destroys

What is a large phagocyte that engulfs other cells and found in lymph nodes and tissues?
macrophageMACROPHAGE......for 13 across(it was 13 down for me lol)
Have capability of phagocytosis?
phagocytosis is a process by which large particles or solids are engulfed by the cell.the membrane forms a pouch as it encloses the material taken in an.an example of a phagocytosis process is the engulfing of a paramesium by an amoeba
What are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as dibris from dead cells?
white blood cells or immune system....
What type of particles are engulfed in the process of phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs matter and packages it into an internal vesicle. Pinocytosis is the same process but for a liquid. Collectively these can be referred to as endocytosis. A type of human white blood cell called a phagocyte uses phagocytosis to ingest bacteria, toxins and other pathogens and delivers them to lysosomes (membrane bound vesicles of digestive enzymes). The phagocyte then undergoes autophagy (self digestion) and dies, during infection the build up of these dead cells gives rise to puss.
What are the cell absorb harmful bacteria and other foreign objects?
The generic term for cells that consume harmful bacteria and foreign objects is phagocyte.
What is the process whereby neutrophils and other white blood cells are attracted to an inflammatory site?
chemotaxis, not phagocytosis, pahgocytosis is when a cell engulfs something by the cell membrane.
What is opsonisation?
Enhances phagocytes by coating a microbe. Opsonization promotes attachment of a phagocyte to a microbe.
How ameoba take food?
amoeba is a phagocyte. it means that it is a cell which absorbs waste material, harmful microorganisms, or other cells by engulfing them. the process of engulfing food is called phagocytosis.
What are differences between pinocytosis and phagocytosis?
The main difference between Phagocytosis and Pinocytosis is that Phagocytosis occurs when the small vesticle engulfs around a solid particle, but Pinocytosis, which can also be referred to as being "cell drinking", occurs when the small vesticle engulfs a liquid particle. Hope that helps!
What does phygocitic mean?
Assuming you're referring to "phagocytic" which means capable of functioning as a phagocyte.A phagocyte is a cell (such as a white blood cell, for example) that engulfs and absorbs waste material, harmful microorganisms, or other foreign bodies in the bloodstream and tissues … sort of a vacuum cleaner for the human body which gets rids of bad nasties.
Define the meaning of ebagoctosis?
The process by which a cell engulfs particles such as bacteria, other microorganisms, aged red blood cells, foreign matter, etc. The principal phagocytes include the neutrophils and monocytes (types of white blood cells).
Is eosinophils a phagocytes?
Phagocytes A type of white blood cell the "eats" dead cells, and other "debris" in the blood.----------------------------- A phagocyte is a white blood cell that 'engulfs' not only dead cells and debris but also reacts against Pathogens (disease causing micro-organisms). There are different types of phagocytes e.g. Macrophages or Neutrophils.The process where a Phagocyte 'disposes' of a pathogen is called phagocytosis, when a bacteria attaches to a phagocyte, using ligands, The phagocyte forms Pseudopods (cytoplasmic arms) that envelope the pathogen, the Psuedopodia then fuse, creating a membrane, enclosing the pathogen forming a phagosome, this moves deeper within the cell to then form with a lysosome forming a phagolysosome (not really imaginitive naming i know, but scientists aren't known for their imaginative naming ). the lysosome contains enzymes (you guessed it, lysozyme) the lysozyme destroys the bacterial cell walls allowing hydrolytic enzymes to digest the rest of the pathogen.sources : Collins As Biology for AQA textbook*** white blood cells that engulf and destroy pathogens***white blood cells
