Phagocytotic
Phagocytotic activity is a type of medicinal activity that involves the use of white blood cells to fight infection. These cells have the ability to recognize, engulf, and destroy foreign particles, such as bacteria and viruses, that invade the body. This process is known as phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is an important part of the body’s immune response and helps protect the body from disease. When a foreign particle is detected by the white blood cells, they use their cell membrane to surround and engulf the particle, breaking it down and digesting it. The foreign particles are then destroyed and eliminated from the body. Phagocytic activity is an essential part of the body’s immune response, helping to fight and prevent infection.
