What else can I help you with?
What type of somatic or body cell ingests and destroys foreign matter or microorganisms?
A white blood cell. More specifically a phagocyte.
Which blood cell protect the body?
White blood cells, because they are actually a cell of the immune system and they defend the body against infectious diseases and foreign materials. When white blood cells are fighting against a disease or foreign material, their numbers increase until the material is gone.
What type of cell ingests bacteria?
White blood cells can pass through the walls of the capillaries by ameboid movement and migrate to almost any tissue in the body
Is there are more white blood cells in the blood than red blood cells?
No. Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell. White blood cell counts only increase if they are fighting against a disease or foreign material or if someone has a cold.
What cell engulfes a foreign material?
Endocytosis & phagocytosis
What is the large cell that engulfs foreign material and worn out red cells called?
The large cell that engulfs foreign material and worn out red cells is called a macrophage. Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play a key role in the immune system by engulfing and digesting pathogens, cell debris, and other harmful substances.
What blood cells eat foreign things in your body?
White blood cells, specifically phagocytes, are responsible for eating and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria and viruses, in the body. This process helps to protect the body against infections and pathogens.
What is the difference between white blood cell and other cells?
White blood cells, are cells of the immune system defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.
The process by which a white blood cell ingests a disease causing organism?
The process by which a white blood cell ingests a disease-causing organism is called phagocytosis. The white blood cell engulfs the pathogen using its cell membrane, forming a vesicle called a phagosome. The phagosome then fuses with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome, where the pathogen is destroyed.
What type of blood cell stored in lymph nodes that defends the body against foreign agents?
White blood cells. More specifically cells known as lymphocytes.
A white blood cell ingests then digests a number of bacteria Which cell organelles were directly responsible for the digestion of bacteria?
lysosomes
What is red and white cell used for in blood?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body tissues through blood flow. White blood cells are cells of the immune system and they defend the body against infectious diseases and foreign materials.
