Yes, phagocytes are also known as white blood cells.
Yes, phagocytes can engulf germs
what is the process by which phagocytes destroy a pathoger
phagocytes engulf and then digest the microorganisms to get rid of them.
They are.
Microglia function as phagocytes.
No, T and B cells are not phagocytes. T cells are a type of lymphocyte involved in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are another type of lymphocyte responsible for producing antibodies. Phagocytes are a different type of immune cell that engulf and digest pathogens.
No, these are not phagocytes. Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell in humans, such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, that are responsible for engulfing and destroying pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. These foreign microorganisms are not phagocytes themselves.

Some white blood cells are phagocytes. The word means "cell that eats".
One method of avoiding phagocytosis is by disguising oneself with a protective capsule or slime layer that makes it difficult for phagocytes to recognize and engulf the foreign particle. Another way is by secreting toxins that can kill phagocytes before they have a chance to engulf the cell. Some pathogens also use mimicry to resemble host cells and avoid detection by phagocytes.
Yes, neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that are phagocytes. Phagocytes are cells that engulf and digest pathogens, debris, or other unwanted materials in the body, helping to fight infection and maintain healthy tissues.
