fagocitálás
Fagocitálás is a cellular process by which certain types of cells, known as phagocytes, engulf and ingest larger particles. This process is a fundamental mechanism of the innate immune system, playing a crucial role in defense against pathogens and in the removal of cellular debris. The term originates from Greek words: "phagein" meaning "to eat" and "kytos" meaning "cell".
The process of fagocitálás begins with the recognition of the target particle by the phagocyte. This recognition
Following engulfment, the phagosome fuses with lysosomes, which are organelles containing digestive enzymes and toxic substances.
