Question

How do phagocytes protect the body

Answer 1

Phagocytes kill pathogens (disease-causing organisms) by phagocytosis in which they flow round the pathogen and engulf it. When the pathogen is trapped inside a vacuole in the phagocyte, it is killed and then digested by enzymes.

Answer 2

Phagocytes are the white blood cells that protect the body by ingesting (phagocytosing) harmful foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells.
