DEFENCE MECHANISM
2. Phagocytosis(cell eating)
Phagocytic defence cells like macrophages and neutrophils migrate to sites of inflammation and infection. They release chemicals that attract them Phagocytes trap particles either by engulfing them or by extending long pseudopodia towards them, which grasp them and reel them in. They bind, engulf and digest foreign cells or particles.
