The primary phagocyte is the macrophage, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. Macrophages are responsible for engulfing and digesting cellular debris, pathogens, and foreign substances. They are derived from monocytes and can be found in tissues throughout the body, where they help initiate immune responses and promote tissue repair. Additionally, macrophages can present antigens to T cells, linking the innate and adaptive immune systems.
