| Microscopic observations indicated that granulocytes were the most frequent hemocyte type to phagocytose zymosan particles. |
| Glial cells serve as important immunoregulators in the brain with the ability to phagocytose neurons that have undergone programmed death, are damaged, or are infected. |
| Macrophages phagocytose the cells during apoptosis before cell membrane rupture, thereby reducing the inflammatory response that occurs due to release of cell contents. |
| This allows leucocytes and macrophages to phagocytose the area of cell debris and pathogens. |
| In extravascular hemolysis, splenic macrophages phagocytose RBCs, releasing hemoglobin, which is then broken down into heme. |
| These autoantibodies react with the hematopoietic cells, and then the histiocytes phagocytose these cells. |
