∙ 10y agoMacrophages ( a type of white cell) do take in foreign bodies by phagocytosis. Others use a type of chemical warfare. Others "call for the troops".
The cell engulfs a substance by forming a vesicle around the substance and then pokes a hole in it in a process called pinocytosis if the substance is mostly water or by phagocytosis if the substance is a solid or finally by a process called receptor-mediated endocytosis which requires the substance to bind to a membrane-bound receptor. This process inactivates the foreign body or bacteria.

What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
What type of cells produce antibodies to destroy pathogens?

Is the process by which white blood cells move in and out of blood vessels called phagocytosis?
No. Phagocytosis is the process in which a cell engulfs and takes in a particle. Some white blood cells are phagocytes, taking in and destroying bacteria.
What is the process by which white blood cells destroy bacteria?
Phagocytosis :)
Does the heart pump white blood cells?
White blood cells are the body's infection-fighting cells. Therefore, they fight against any infection that may affect the heart such as bacterial endocarditis. They attach to the disease and kill them off by either "eating them" (phagocytosis) or by other means.
What human cell uses phagocytosis as a mechanism of defense?
Leukocytes (white blood cells) capture and destroy microorganisms by phagocytosis.
What is the name of the process where a white blood cell engulfs a pathogen?
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.
What is it called when white blood cells eat bacteria?
they "engulf" the bacteria
What is the function white blood?
The combat of disease through phagocytosis (the engulfing of the bacterial cells through changing of the shape of the membrane) which encloses the bacteria within the white blood cell, where there are lysosomes containing enzymes which break down the bacteria.
