Answers
HELLO!
Phagocytosis comes from the ancient Greek "phagos" root to eat-swallow. Phagocytosis is the effort of a phagocyte to capture and swallow solid particles and to dissolve (digest) by trapping them in the space called the phagosome it creates in its cytoplasm. The main solid particles they phagocytized are living agents (microbes), dead cells and tissue residues, minerals and metal salts that do not dissolve in water, foreign bodies, etc. The phenomenon of phagocytes and phagocytosis was first found in 1882 by Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov. This invention earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Cells capable of phagocytosis are referred to as "phagocytes". Neutrophil polymorphs, monocytes and tissue macrophages in blood (liver Kuppfer cells, lung alveolar cells, histiocytes and epithelioid cells, microglial cells in brain and m.spinalis, osteoclastic cells, sinusoidal cells in the spleen) are important phagocytes.
The energy required for phagocytosis is provided by the increase of glycogen and lipid metabolism in the tissue. Some substances (sodium fluoride) and some viruses (influenza virus) stop phagocytosis by inhibiting glycolysis.
GOOD LUCK:)
Answer:
Phagocytosis, process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles. The phagocyte may be a free-living one-celled organism, such as an amoeba, or one of the body cells, such as a white blood cell.
