What solid component of the blood destroys microorganisms by phagocytosis?
WBCs
What is engulfing a particle called?
When a cell engulfs a particle, it is called phagocytosis. Certain white blood cells phagocytize and digest infectious particles like bacteria to kill them.
What is the name of the process where a white blood cell engulfs a pathogen?
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.
How is invading bacteria detroyed?
The bacteria has tiny, oddly-shaped molecules on it's surface, which are different for every type of bacteria, these are called antigens. When a special type of white blood cell, called a lymphocyte, realises an invading bacteria is in the bloodstream, it starts to make tiny connectors called antibodies. These antibodies fit the antigens on the bacteria's surface, and join many bacteria together. Once lots of bacteria have been joined together, another type of white blood cell, called a phagocyte, engulfs them, and it will usually take a few days for all the bacteria to be destroyed.
A white blood cell surrounds and engulfs a worn out red blood cell forming a vesicle around the red blood cell this process is called?
phagocytosis
When a white blood cell engulfs a bacteria and destroys it the process of engulfing the bacteria is called cellular eating or...?
phagocytosis? i think not sure though
What type of blood cell engulfs invaders and destroys them with enzymes?
White Blood Cells.
What solid component of the blood destroys microorganisms by phagocytosis?
WBCs
Is the process by which white blood cells move in and out of blood vessels called phagocytosis?
No. Phagocytosis is the process in which a cell engulfs and takes in a particle. Some white blood cells are phagocytes, taking in and destroying bacteria.
What is a large phagocyte that engulfs other cells?
Im pretty sure its the white blood cell. it has receptors on it that match the skins of other cells that are supposed to be in the body. those that aren't it envelopes and destroys
Which type of white blood cells is produced in thymus and destroys the cell membranes of bacteria?
t-cells
What is engulfing a particle called?

Define the meaning of ebagoctosis?
The process by which a cell engulfs particles such as bacteria, other microorganisms, aged red blood cells, foreign matter, etc. The principal phagocytes include the neutrophils and monocytes (types of white blood cells).
What does the organs in the immune system do?
they produce white blood cells (leucocytes) which help protect the body against harmful viruses by producing antibodies, and by a process called "phagocytosis" in which the white blood cell completely engulfs the bacteria, making it harmless.
What is the name of the process where a white blood cell engulfs a pathogen?
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.

What does a antitoxin fight against?
An antitoxin is a cell on the surface of the white blood cell which latches on the toxin of a bacteria and destroys it. if your WBC (white blood cell) did recognise the same toxin on the bacteria the antitoxin from the WBC would be made a lot efficiently and rsapidly to destroy the toxin.
