What blood cells perform phagocytosis?

Answer 1

Certain types of white blood cells perform phagocytosis. These include: neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, and to a limited degree B lymphocytes. Neutrophils and macrophages perform phagocytosis to eliminate invading microbes and foreign/debris materials (such as asbestos or excess extracellular cholesterol). Dendritic cells and B cells perform phagocytosis mainly to fulfill their function as antigen presenting cells (though macrophage is also an antigen presenting cell, its primary function is to destroy foreign materials).

Answer 2

Phagocytosis is the Invagination of solid particles surrounding the cell.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we take the example of a pathogen in this process.

A phagocyte firstly is a type of white blood cell.

The pathogen which has enterred the body will be attracted by the phagocyte- The phagocyte will be attracted due to Chemo-attractants released by the pathogen.

The pathogen will become attached to the phagocyte , the phagocytes cell surface membrane will change shape and begin to engulf the pathogen by using pseudopods.

Once in the phagocyte it is now in a vesicle now called a phagosome.

Lysosomes within the white blood cell will fuse with the Phagosome and release their powerful enzymes . These enzymes begin to digest the pathogen. Resulting in the absorption by the cell, Other debris leaves the cell by Exocytosis.

Ofcourse Phagocytsosis can also occur for cells to absorb useful nutrietd for example this process can happen for Organelles who are no not useful anymore.

Pinocytosis is the invagination (taking in ) of liquid surrounding a cell :) Hope this helps you x

Phagocytosis is the engulfing of pathogens or other particles by cell via endocytosis.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phagocytosis is the cellular process of engulfing solid particles by the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome, or "food vacuole." The phagosome is usually delivered to the lysosome, an organelle involved in the breakdown of cellular components, which fuses with the phagosome.

-------------------------------------------

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.

Answer 3

APCs like monocytes/macrophage, dendritic cells like Langerhan in the stratum sp;inosum of the skin epidermis, B cells and neutrophils. First thing is recognize of PAMP and PRR. THen it is the psueodopods that form around then finally phagocytosis.

Answer 4

large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane

Answer 5

Phagocytosis is the cellular process of engulfing solid particles by the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome, or "food vacuole."

Answer 6

large particles or cell are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
