Liver contains macrophages called Kupffer cells. These cells engulf and breakdown toxic matter such as microorganisms, dead cells and chemicals. Kupffer cells ingest microorganism by phagocytosis. The engulfed microorganism is called phagosome. Lysosmes in the cytoplasm of kupffer cell, fuse with the phagosome and release digestive enzymes. These enzymes breakdown and kill the microorganism.
But how kupffer cell identify toxic matter?
There are receptors for the toxic matter on the surface of kupffer cells. The harmful particle and these receptors of kupffer cell can fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The harmful particle is then engulfed by kupffer cell.
