What else can I help you with?
What fits the term macrophages?
organisms that engulf and destroy pathogens
What do phagocytes do for a site of injury?
Engulf pathogens, backteria, foreign bodies
What organelles is macrophages rich in?
Lysosomes and Phagocytes to digest and engulf used pathogens and bacteria
Does a T cell engulf pathogens and distroy them?
No, T cells do not engulf pathogens. T cells are a type of white blood cell that recognize specific pathogens and coordinate the immune response by producing cytokines, activating other immune cells, or directly killing infected cells. They do not have engulfing capabilities like phagocytes.
Which of the follwing causes pathogens to clump together making them easier to destroy?
Antibodies cause pathogens to clump together, a process known as agglutination. This occurs when antibodies bind to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens, forming complexes that enhance the visibility of the pathogens to immune cells. The clumping facilitates the elimination of these pathogens by phagocytes, which can more easily engulf and destroy them.
Give two examples where the cell constantly keep their shape changing?
White blood cells change shape constantly as they move through the body to engulf and destroy pathogens. Amoebas change shape constantly as they extend and retract their pseudopods in order to move and engulf food particles.
Is Phagocytosis the process of destroying pathogens by surrounding and swallowing them?
Yes, that's correct. Phagocytosis is a process where specialized cells called phagocytes engulf and consume pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, to destroy them and protect the body from infections.
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.
What is the white blood cell that attacks the invading pathogens?
The white blood cell that attacks invading pathogens is called a neutrophil. Neutrophils are a type of phagocyte, which means they engulf and destroy pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. They are an important part of the body's immune response to infections.
What type of white blood cells kill pathogens by engulfing them?
Phagocyte
What are white blood cells that engulf and digest foreign celss are called?
White blood cells that engulf and destroy pathogens are called monocytes (which circulate in the blood and reside in the bodies tissues) and neutrophil or neutrocytes (which circulate in the bloodstream as well but are particularly responsive to bacterial and fungal infections and inflammations).
Cell that digests disease causing organisms?
I think the answer you're looking for is, "White Blood Cells." They are one of the four components of blood, and they engulf any pathogens they detect.
