Phagocytes, such as macrophages and neutrophils, adapt to their function through various mechanisms. They possess specialized receptors on their surface that recognize and bind to pathogens, enabling efficient engulfment. Additionally, they have a robust cytoskeleton that aids in the movement and phagocytosis of foreign particles. Their ability to produce reactive oxygen species and enzymes allows them to effectively destroy engulfed pathogens, enhancing their role in immune defense.

The function of a phagocyte is?

Phagocytes are very important components of our body's immunity (innate immunity). They are cells that can phagocytose foreign microbes (engulfing microbes by the cell membrane) and then they use enzymes to break down these foreign microbes. Phagocytes may also present the remnants of the microbe to a different type of cells (lymphocytes) to create a memory of that microbe in the body.
