Answer:
Phagocytes are cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells.
One litre of human blood contains about six billion phagocytes. They were discovered in 1882 by Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov while he was studying starfish larvae. Mechnikov was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery
