| | Phagocytosis |
 | | With this attached to the surface of the microorganisms, phagocytosis is much more effective and rapid. | | | Neutrophils and macrophages have some ability on their own to recognize microorganisms and begin phagocytosis. | | | Anthrax spores from the lungs or a cut in the skin make their way first to lymph nodes, where they change to their "vegetative form" and begin dividing. |

| | PHAGOCYTOSIS |
| | The concept of phagocytosis is an interesting one to students, yet a hard one to visualize. | | | Their final task is to individually do a series of drawings of phagocytosis, which I usually have them do in color, as homework. | | | Often the best way of doing this is to first review the role of the lysosome in the process, and why the digestion does not take place in the cytoplasm. |

| | Oxidative stress inhibits the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells that have externalized phosphatidylserine |
| | Results are expressed as the percentage of ATP measured in treated cultures compared to the ATP content in control cultures. | | | The possibility therefore exists that these putative mediators may be sensitive to oxidation. | | | Phagocytosis of apoptotic BL cells was quantified by FACscan analysis and is expressed as the fold-increase in phagocytosis. |

| | Re: waht is the difference between phagocytosis and endocytosis? |
| | Indeed phagocytosis is often equated with "cell eating". | | | Endocytosis can refer to receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis or phagocytosis. | | | ETC PS You can also check out some sites on phagocytosis and pathogens by searching the web. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Phagocytosis |
| | The process where these white blood cells surround, engulf, and destroy foreign substances is called phagocytosis, and the cells are collectively referred to as phagocytes. | | | Pus is formed from a collection of dead tissue, dead bacteria, and live and dead phagocytes. | | | The chemicals also attract white blood cells that "eat" microorganisms and dead or damaged cells. |
