Phagocyte migration is the process by which phagocytes, a type of immune cell, move from the bloodstream to sites of infection or tissue damage. This movement is guided by chemical signals released by pathogens or damaged cells, a process known as chemotaxis. Once at the site, phagocytes engulf and digest pathogens, debris, and dead cells, playing a crucial role in the body's defense mechanism and tissue repair. Overall, phagocyte migration is essential for an effective immune response.
Another name for phagocyte is macrophage.
The final step of phagocyte mobilization is the migration of phagocytes to the site of infection or inflammation through chemotaxis. Chemotaxis is a process by which phagocytes move towards a concentration gradient of chemical signals released by pathogens or damaged tissue. Once phagocytes reach the site, they can engulf and destroy the invading pathogens.
A mast cell is not a lymphocyte or a phagocyte. It is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, particularly in allergies and anaphylaxis, by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators.

macrophage
Monocyte
yes
Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell. A phagocyte flows around bacteria, and sort of creates and dent in itself, which the bacteria goes into, and then the phagocyte closes around it, trapping the bacteria. Then the phagocyte secretes enzmes onto the bacteria to digest it.
