Leukocytes that respond to nonspecific foreign invaders are called?
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.
How do phagocytes protect against pathogens?
Activated by lymphocytes, Polymorph phagocytes absorb or envelope mostly bacteria, compartmentalize it, barrage it with enzymes attempting to destroy it, or radically alter it. Macrophages injest and destroy a wider variety of invaders, including viruses, and act as anitgen presenting cells which serve to increase immune response. Some epithelial and reticular cells also act as phagocytes in that the can injest and destroy or remove invaders.
What occurs when the innate immune system is attempting to flush a specific area with phagocytes?
When the innate immune system is attempting to flush a specific area with phagocytes, it initiates an inflammatory response. This response involves the release of chemical signals that attract phagocytes to the site of infection or injury. The phagocytes then engulf and destroy pathogens, helping to eliminate the threat.
Which white blood cell destroy pathogens by phagocytes?
macrophage
Proteins that destroy substances that are not part of your body are called what?
Proteins that destroy substances that are not part of your body are called antibodies. Antibodies are produced by the immune system to help protect the body against harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses.
What is it called when phagocytes destroy pathogens?
I'm not sure if you're looking for a more specific answer, but phagocytes engluf pathogens and wastes via phagocytosis.
Process by which phagocytes destroy pathogens is called?
PhagocytosisPhagocytes make up three-quarters of the body's white blood cells. They destroy pathogens by engulfing them.It's called phagocytosis. Macrophages mainly phagocytose the pathogens.
How did invaders destroy castles?

What organelle functions to destroy substances such as bacteria and viruses engulfed by phagocytes?
Lysosone
What are compliment proteins?
Complement proteins are a group of proteins in the immune system that work together to enhance the body's ability to fight infections. They can help to attract immune cells to the site of infection, stimulate inflammation, and destroy pathogens by forming membrane attack complexes. Complement proteins play a critical role in the innate immune response.
What part of the immune system does not target specific microbial invaders?
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.
