Question

$\huge\bf\star\fbox\red{Question:-}$ What is the name of the cells in the body that engulf foreign particles like bacteria?

Answer 1

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. In some forms of animal life, such as amoebas and sponges, phagocytosis is a means of feeding. In higher animals phagocytosis is chiefly a defensive reaction against infection and invasion of the body by foreign substances (antigens).The presence of foreign particles within cells was first described in the 1860s by pathologist Kranid Slavjansky. In the 1880s Russian-born zoologist and microbiologist Élie Metchnikoff introduced the term phagocyte in reference to immune cells that engulf and destroy foreign bodies such as bacteria. Metchnikoff also recognized that phagocytes play a major role in the immune response, a discovery that earned him a share of the 1908 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.

Phagocytes

Phagocytes are cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells. Their name comes from the Greek phagein, "to eat" or "devour", and "-cyte", the suffix in biology denoting "cell", from the Greek kutos, "hollow vessel".
