Macrophage main function is?
phagocytosis of damaged cells, pathogens or non-organic material in the body.
What are the adaptations of a neutrophil cell?
lobed nucleus to allow for greater flexibility during phagocytosis and movement in vessels aswell as many lysosomes present (making the cytoplasm look grainy) to aid the digestion of pathogens during phagocytosis.
A large white blood cell that can destroy substances such as cell debris dust pollen and pathogens by the process of phagocytosis?
All of them!
Examples of cells that carry out phagocytosis?
phagocytosis occurs in our body when some foreign particle enters inside it, our white blood cells engulf it, and then digest it. it is also how some microorganisms like ameoba get their food. example: white blood cell engulfing a large, liquid protein droplet.
Why wbcs are soldiers of the body?
White blood cells are the functional components of the immune system and are therefore referred to as the soldiers of the body. White blood cells are involved in protective biological functions such as phagocytosis (the engulfing of bacterial pathogens), antibody production and signaling to produce protective effects against viruses and other invading pathogens

Process by which phagocytes destroy pathogens is called?
PhagocytosisPhagocytes make up three-quarters of the body's white blood cells. They destroy pathogens by engulfing them.It's called phagocytosis. Macrophages mainly phagocytose the pathogens.
What cell type is responsible for destroying pathogens in the central nervous system?
