Is non bony debris at the fracture site removed by osteoclasts?
Phagocytes
What does macrophages do?
Macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both non-specific defense as well as to help initiate specific defense mechanisms of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytose (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens either as stationary or mobile cells, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to the pathogen.
What are leukocytes made up of?
A leukocyte is a white blood cell. They are part of our bodies' defense system. They are produced in bone marrow, you can find them in blood and lymph system. Usually when WBC's or lymphocytes are elevated you have an infection somewhere.Leuk = whiteCyte = cellWhite blood cells.
True or false Lysosomes perform digestive functions within a cell?
Yes. Born as endosomes that contain inactive enzymes, lysosomes are spherical, membranous organelles containing activated digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are large and abundant within phagocytes, the cells that dispose of invading bacteria and cell debris. Lysosomal enzymes can digest almost all kinds of biological molecules. They work best in acidic conditions and so are called acid hydrolases.
Function of lysosomes in a cell?
They break down waste and debris in the cell using hydrolase enzymes. Sometimes its called the stomach of the cell.

White blood cells able to eat cell debris and pathogens?
Phagocytes
What is the function of an microglia?
Spiderlike Phagocytes That Dispose Of Debris, Including Dead Brain Cells And Bacteria.
Which are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as debris from dead cell?
I think Phagocytes
Are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substance as well as debris from dead cells?
Phagocytes or macrophages.
Which cells of the liver protect the body by ingesting bacteria and other debris?
i think its phagocytes who engulf bacteria and other microorganisms.
Which cells phagocytize an antigen?
They are "phagocytes." Phagocytes include cells called neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells. NEUTROPHILS - first line of defense mechanisms. MACROPHAGES - second line of defense mechanisms. Phagocytosis is a process by which macrophages (a type of white blood cells) engulf pathogens and cell debris.
Which type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills invading cells removes dead cells and stimulates the action of other immune cells?
Macrophages, sometimes called phagocytes, engulf pathogens and cell debris and trigger T-cells and B-cells.
Why do white blood cells use endocytosis?
White blood cells use endocytosis to engulf any pathogens such as bacteria. By trapping the bacteria, the lysosomes in the cell can destroy the pathogen. A lysosome is a vacuole in a cell that is full of digestive enzymes. The Lysosome digests old cell organelles, invaders, and food. This explains why White Blood Cells are part of the immune system.
How are phagocytes recruited to the site of injury?
Neutrophils is the first phagocytes to migrate into the injured area. Macrophages is the phagocytic offspring of monocytes. The second line of defense is the inflammatory response, mast cells, fluid, and phagocytosis.
How does phagocytes help to fight infections?
its role in defending your body against disease is to find and "eat" (consume i guess) bacteria, viruses, and dead or injured body cells Phagocytes defend the body by destroy pathogens. They surrounding and engulfing them.
