White blood cells, specifically neutrophils and macrophages, engulf and destroy bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. This is an important part of the immune response to infections.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a white blood cell engulfs and destroys pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. In this process, the white blood cell surrounds the pathogen with its cell membrane, forming a vesicle called a phagosome, which then fuses with lysosomes to break down the pathogen.
White blood cells, particularly macrophages and neutrophils, use phagocytosis as a mechanism of defense against invading pathogens. These cells engulf and digest foreign particles such as bacteria, viruses, and cellular debris to protect the body from infections.
Examples of cells that carry out phagocytosis include macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. These cells are part of the immune system and engulf foreign particles, such as bacteria or cellular debris, to destroy them.
After a white blood cell destroys a pathogen, it can either die itself or continue circulating in the body to fight other pathogens. The debris from the destroyed pathogen is usually broken down and eliminated from the body through processes such as phagocytosis or excretion.

Phagocytosis is the medical term meaning digestion and ingestion of microorganisms by white blood cells.

phagocytosis? i think not sure though
White blood cells, particularly macrophages and neutrophils, use phagocytosis as a mechanism of defense against invading pathogens. These cells engulf and digest foreign particles such as bacteria, viruses, and cellular debris to protect the body from infections.
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.
A white blood cell. More specifically a phagocyte.
White blood cells dispose of worn-out red blood cells through phagocytosis. They engulf and digest the old red blood cells to remove them from circulation efficiently.
Monocytes and macrophages are good example of blood cells which cause phagocytosis. They originate from lymphoid stem cells
they "engulf" the bacteria
That is a very good question! You normally have high white blood cell count in bacterial infections. This rise in count is there to to promote the phagocytosis by white blood cells. But you have low WBC count in viral fevers, in rickettsial infections, in chlamydia infections, in malaria and in typhoid fever. They are all the intracellular infection. So rise in WBC can not help to kill the microorganisms by phagocytosis.
White blood cells that engulf and destroy bacteria are known as neutrophils. They are a type of phagocyte that play a key role in the immune response against bacterial infections. Neutrophils engulf bacteria through a process known as phagocytosis, helping to eliminate the invading pathogens from the body.
