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 final step of phagocyte mobilization?

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.


Are neutrophils phagocytes?

Yes, neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that are phagocytes. Phagocytes are cells that engulf and digest pathogens, debris, or other unwanted materials in the body, helping to fight infection and maintain healthy tissues.


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.


Are bacteria viruses fungi and protists the major human phagocytes?

No, these are not phagocytes. Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell in humans, such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, that are responsible for engulfing and destroying pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. These foreign microorganisms are not phagocytes themselves.
