What happens when cells cease to function adequately or at all?
When a cell dies due to its age it often undergoes self-death, called apoptosis. Apoptosis is a form of controlled cell death where the cell breaks off into small pieces called apoptotic bodies. These bodies are then ingested by macrophages(or microglia in the brain, sometimes referred to as the brain macrophage). Once phagocytized into a phagosome within the macrophage, a lysosome will join the phagosome forming a phagolysosome. Within the phagolysosome the pH drops to around 3 and the enzymes become activated and digest the apoptotic body and recycle its nutrients. Any non-digestable material is stored in the macrophage and is often called lipofuschin.
What are facts about phagocytosis?
Lysosomes are found in the phagosome which are involved in digesting the bacteria once engulfed. The phagosome has c3b receptors which bind to the antibodies on the bacteria.
What are phagosomes?
A phagosome is the engulfed particle by the white blood cell during phagocytosis
Lysosomes can be expected to be present in large numbers in cells which?
Lysosomes are expected in large numbers of cells that carry out phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is when a cell engulfs a particle and forms a phagosome.
What blood cells perform phagocytosis?
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).

What is Phagocytosis.?
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.Sources : Collins AS Biology for AQA textbookPhagocytosis is a process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest other cells or particles

A phagosome is the engulfed particle by the white blood cell during phagocytosis
What are Membrane sacs that develop as a result of phagocytosis?
A phagosome (also known as a food vacuole).
Name The structure found in a phagosome which is used to digest material?
lysosomes connect to the encased solid and break it down
What has the author David Joel Hackam written?
David Joel Hackam has written: 'Mechanisms of phagosome formation, maturation and acidification'
What has the author Warren Lester Lee written?
Warren Lester Lee has written: 'Membrane remodelling and signal transduction during phagosome formation and maturation'
Lysosomes can be expected to be present in large numbers in cells which?
Lysosomes are expected in large numbers of cells that carry out phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is when a cell engulfs a particle and forms a phagosome.
What happen to large molecules such as food particles during phagocytosis?
During Phagocytosis large particles are enveloped by the cell membrane of a (usually larger) cell and internalized to form a phagosome, or "food vacuole."
What is a extracellular bacteria?
Intracellular Bacteria is bacteria that lives inside of a cell such as a macrophage. If the cell knows the bacteria is living inside of it the cell will destroy it, but some times bacteria can not be detected by the cell, so it lives inside of the cell. But how does the body destroy intracellular bacteria? In order for the cell to destroy the intracellular bacteria it needs the assistance of a T-Cell. OK, lets put the cell that contains the intracellular bacteria aside for right now. The T-Cell has previously found a different cell that recognized the virus and destroyed the virus. After the cell destroyed the virus it placed a piece of the virus along with a piece of MHC on the outer wall of itself. The cell is now called a "Presenting Cell". A T-Cell comes along and binds to the presenting cell recognizes that it killed the bacteria and begins to proliferate (divide) into thousands of CD8+ and CD4+ cells. The new CD4+ cells then differentiate or divided in to TH1 or TH2 cells. NOW... as the TH1 cells are moving around our body. The TH1 cells are very good at recognizing cells such as macrophages that have the intracellular bacteria living inside of it. When the TH1 cell find a cell that contains intracellular bacteria, the TH1 cell attaches itself to the cell that contains the intracellular bacteria and reprograms the cell it so it recognizes the intracellular bacteria and then destroys it. What happens after the TH1 cell reprogrammes the cell that contains the intracellular bacteria? The reprogramming allows the lysosomes inside of the cell to recognize the bacteria. The cell then forms a Phagosome around the intracellular bacteria. lysosomes inside of the cell attach the Phagosome creating a Phagolysosome. The Phagolysosome is like a bag that contains the intracellular bacteria and destroys the bacteria though lysosomal enzymes and other toxins. The cell then releases the destroyed bacteria as debris.
