The process of cellular ingestion and digestion by phagocytes of solid or semi\u2010solid substances, such as other cells, bacteria, bits of necrotic tissue, and foreign particles.<\/p>\n
Is process the human body uses to destroy dead or foreign cells.<\/p>\n
The engulfing of microorganisms, other cells, and foreign particles by phagocytic cells.<\/p>\n
The act of absorbing and digesting fragments, detritis, or whole organisms, as an amoeba does. Granulocytes do this in the body.<\/p>\n
The destruction and absorption of bacteria or microorganisms by phagocytes.<\/p>\n
Ingestion and digestion of bacteria, other cells, and particles by a class of cells called phagocytes.<\/p>\n
The ingestion and digestion of solid particles by certain white blood cells.<\/p>\n
Destruction of bacteria cells and foreign bodies by phagocytes.<\/p>\n
The ingestion of micro-organisms by leucocytes (neutrophils and monocytes) and fixed cells of the reticulo-endothelial system, followed often by the death of the microbes (especially in the case of pyogenic bacteria). Species such as Brucellae and Salmonellae survive within the cell, multiply, and eventually destroy it.<\/p>\n
Process by which certain cells (phagocytes) engulf and digest microorganisms and cellular debris.<\/p>\n
The engulfing and ingesting of bacteria and old cells.<\/p>\n
The engulfment and digestion of bacteria and other foreign particles by a cell.<\/p>\n
A process by which bacteria and other foreign particles in the body are ingested by monocytes in the blood and macrophages in the tissues that envelop and digest bacteria, cells, cell debris and other small particles. Phagocytes are an essential part of the body’s defense mechanisms.<\/p>\n
A three-stage process by which phagocytes (neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages) engulf and destroy microorganisms, other foreign antigens, and cell debris. Generally, these substances must be covered with opsonins, such as antibodies or complement, to initiate binding with cell receptors on the phagocytes, the first stage in phagocytosis. In the second stage, the particle is engulfed and enclosed in a vacuole (phagosome). During the third stage, the phagosome merges with lysosomes whose enzymes destroy the engulfed particle.<\/p>\n
