Ingestion and killing of extracellular organisms inside the phagolysosomes
Phagocytosis
In phagocytosis:
The killings is caused by production of ___________________
reactive oxygen intermediates
Example of Phagocytes:
Macrophage/Monocyte
Neutrophiles
Dendritic Cells
What enhances phagocytosis which binds / Coating to foreign bodies for easy recognition
Opsonins
Steps of Phagocytosis:
Adhesion
Engulfment
Phagosome
Lysosomes
Phagolysosomes
Digestion
Exocytosis
