What is the name of the process where a white blood cell engulfs a pathogen?
Phagocytosis is the process by which a white blood cell engulfs and destroys pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. In this process, the white blood cell surrounds the pathogen with its cell membrane, forming a vesicle called a phagosome, which then fuses with lysosomes to break down the pathogen.
What happens to the number of white blood cells in the body during an infection?
The number of white blood cells increase during an infection, so they can fight off the pathogens quicker.
What component of blood engulfs and destroys bacteria?
White blood cells, specifically neutrophils and macrophages, engulf and destroy bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. This is an important part of the immune response to infections.
What are white blood cells that can engulf pathogens called?
once the White blood cell (WBC) recognizes a pathogen it will use its plasma membrane to engulf the pathogen (endocytosis). the plasma membrane wraps itself around the pathogen bringing it in to the cytoplasm of the cell. it then will break off once the pathogen is inside enough. the pathogen with its surrounding plasma membrane forms an vesicle inside the larger macrophage (WBC). the vesicle and its contents are digested by the cell through the use of digestive enzymes and lysosomes.
How the body's white blood cells respond to infection?
When the body is infected, white blood cells respond by detecting the presence of pathogens (like bacteria or viruses) and activating an immune response. This response can include engulfing and destroying pathogens, producing antibodies to neutralize them, and recruiting other immune cells to aid in the fight against infection. White blood cells also play a role in creating immunological memory to help the body respond more rapidly to future infections by the same pathogen.

What surrounds and destroys pathogens in the blood?
White blood cells
Are white blood cell pathogen?
White blood cells are cells in the immune system that help defend the body against infections, including pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They work by detecting and destroying pathogens to protect the body from illness and disease.
What organ destroys old red cells and stores white blood cells?
Your spleen destroys old red blood cells and stores white blood cells. It is part of your lymphatic system and is found in your abdomen.
Why do white blood cells produce antibodies?
White Blood Cells prouduce antibodies because when a pathogen (another name for a diease) enters your body white blood cells sends out the right antibodies to kill the pathogen and when it is killed the white blood cells remembers it so if the pathogen ever comes back again they know how to get rid of it this is called immunty
What Substance in the blood that destroys certain kinds of diseases?
Antibodies and white blood cells Antibodies and white blood cells
How the human immune system fdeals with pathogen?
White Blood Cells
The body's natural way of responding when invaded by a pathogen is?
White blood cells will attack the pathogen which can cause swelling and fever.
What type of blood cell engulfs invaders and destroys them with enzymes?
White Blood Cells.
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
What is a white blood cell that eats any pathogen?
It is called a "killer" T-cell
What is leukemia's pathogen?
leukemia is not a pathogen but rather a form of cancer that affects the bone marrow/blood. Basically it causes rapid production of immature white blood cells.that are not effective in providing immunity
