microglia
Phagocytes, such as neutrophils and macrophages, are leukocytes that respond to nonspecific foreign invaders. They engulf and destroy pathogens through phagocytosis, helping to protect the body from infections.
Eosinophils release chemicals that destroy parasitic invaders and their eggs. They also engulf and destroy foreign cells like pollen, and animal dander.
yes they can
organisms that engulf and destroy pathogens
They destroy dead cells. They engulf foreign materials.
functions of lysosomes *carry out intracellular digestion *it is responsible for degradation of worn out cells.hence it is called suidical bag. *it also facilites the entry of sperm into egg.
Microglia are nerve cells that act as the primary immune cells in the central nervous system. They engulf and digest cellular waste and foreign microorganisms to maintain brain health and protect nerve tissue from damage.
They destroy dead cells. They engulf foreign materials.
Certain types of white blood cells (the "fighter" cells in the immune system) do not have specific microbial targets. Phagocytes engulf a wide range of "foreign" invaders and destroy them. A form of phagocyte, eosinophil, secrete enzymes and destroy a wide range of pathogens. Macrophages also destroy a wide range of microbial invaders rather than having particular targets. Non-phagocytic cells which are non-specific are Basophils and Mast cells, using chemicals to destruct foreign bodies and restricting blood vessels respectively.
Phagocytosis
The process by which immune cells engulf and destroy bacteria is called phagocytosis. This involves the immune cell recognizing the bacteria as foreign, engulfing it into a membrane-bound vesicle called a phagosome, and then fusing the phagosome with lysosomes containing enzymes to destroy the bacteria.
They have a protective function. They engulf micro organisms and harmful material.They destroy dead cells.
