The Phagocytic specialists are neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages.
What is Phagocyte?
- A phagocyte is a special kind of cell that can take in and occasionally digest foreign substances like bacteria, carbon, dust, or dye.
- By producing vacuoles (cytoplasmic extensions that resemble feet) around the foreign particle, it engulfs foreign materials by extending its cytoplasm into pseudopods.
- While the bacteria are still inside the vacuole, where digestion occurs, phagocyte enzymes are produced, protecting the phagocyte from any poisons that may be present in the ingested bacteria.
- Monocytes (macrophages) and neutrophilic leukocytes (microphages), two different subtypes of white blood cells, are phagocytic.
- Small, granular leukocytes known as neutrophils soon appear at the site of a wound.
- About three days after infection, monocytes start to appear.
- They are bigger cells with a large, kidney-shaped nucleus that scavenge for bacteria.
