What role do phagocytes play in defending the body against disease

Sagot :

Phagocytes can pass through the blood vessel walls into the tissue surrounding tissue towards the toxins or pathogens. They then either ingest and absorb the pathogen/toxin or release an enzyme to destroy them. They may also send a chemical message to lymphocytes to identify the type of antibody needed to destroy them.
