phagocyte. [fagâ²ÉsÄ«t]. Etymology: Gk, phagein + kytos, cell. a cell that is able to surround, engulf, and digest microorganisms and cellular debris. Fixed noncirculating phagocytes include the fixed macrophages and the cells of the reticuloendothelial system. Free circulating phagocytes include the leukocytes.
Phagocytes rid the body of bacteria and other pathogens via an ingestion process called phagocytosis. During phagocytosis, phagocytes engulf and kill microbes using a variety of different methods.There are two types of phagocyte, professional and non-professional.ead or dying cells are disposed of by nonprofessional phagocytes. The cells put out chemical signals that allow the phagocyte to detect their decline, so it can then ingest the dying cells using phagocytosis. Professional phagocytes also use phagocytosis to dispose of bacteria and other microbes.
