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.
The medical term for a white blood cell phagocyte and precursor of a macrophage is a monocyte. Monocytes circulate in the bloodstream before migrating to tissues, where they can mature into macrophages to help with immune responses and clearing infections.
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.
Large molecules can enter cells through processes like endocytosis, where the cell membrane surrounds the molecule and engulfs it in a vesicle. This allows large molecules to be transported into the cell without crossing the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
Exocytosis

Phagocyte**

Langerhan's cells.
MACROPHAGE
The white blood cell described is likely a macrophage. Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest foreign particles, such as cell debris, dust, pollen, and pathogens, through a process called phagocytosis. They play a vital role in the immune response by helping to eliminate harmful substances from the body.

The cell Wall
A phagocyte is a cell specializing in ingestion of materials.
Phagocytosis is considered an active process because it requires energy expenditure by the cell to engulf and digest particles such as bacteria or cell debris. It is a form of endocytosis where the cell engulfs solid particles rather than fluids.
