Is phagocytosis a non specific immune response or a specific immune response?

A non specific event carried out by certain white blood cell types belonging to the innate (non-specific) immune system. For example neutrophils and macrophages both carry out this process. Phagocytosis is the engulfing and digestion of foreign microorganisms and materials. The cells involved perform endocytosis of the material, surrounding it by a membrane as they take it in, where it is then usually destroyed by activation of chemicals inside the white cell.
