Another name for phagocyte is macrophage.
After phagocytosis, dead bacteria cells are broken down by enzymes within the phagocyte and their components are recycled or eliminated. Some parts may be presented on the surface of the phagocyte to activate immune responses. The remnants are eventually expelled from the phagocyte through exocytosis.
Phagocyte cells typically have a lifespan of a few days to a few weeks, depending on the specific type of phagocyte and its activity level in the body. Once they have fulfilled their role in clearing pathogens, they undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) or are cleared by the immune system.
The white blood cell described is likely a macrophage. Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest foreign particles, such as cell debris, dust, pollen, and pathogens, through a process called phagocytosis. They play a vital role in the immune response by helping to eliminate harmful substances from the body.
White blood cells, specifically phagocytes, are responsible for eating and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria and viruses, in the body. This process helps to protect the body against infections and pathogens.
Another name for extremophiles is Archaea.
neutrophil
Phagocyte**
A mast cell is not a lymphocyte or a phagocyte. It is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, particularly in allergies and anaphylaxis, by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators.
macrophage
Monocyte
yes
Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell. A phagocyte flows around bacteria, and sort of creates and dent in itself, which the bacteria goes into, and then the phagocyte closes around it, trapping the bacteria. Then the phagocyte secretes enzmes onto the bacteria to digest it.
no. they are a type of phagocyte

The word that means the same thing as cell eating is phagocytosis. The outcome is the ingestion of particulate matter, such as bacteria, from the extracellular fluid.
