Explanation
  • Phagocytosis is when a cell (usually a white blood cell) engulfs and digests foreign particles, pathogens, or debris.
  • It is a key immune response component, helping the body defend against infections.
  • Cells that carry out this process are called phagocytes, which include certain types of white blood cells, such as macrophages.
