Phagocyte


 

A phagocyte is a cell that ingests (and destroys) foreign matter, such as microorganisms or debris via a process known as phagocytosis, in which these cells ingest and kill offending cells by cellular digestion. These phagocytes are extremely useful as an initial immune system response to tissue damage.
