👉 Phagocytable is a term that refers to the process of engulfing, digesting, and killing microorganisms or other pathogens. It occurs during an immune response to infection in the body. Phagocytes are specialized cells that can recognize and destroy foreign particles, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, by engulfing them with their own flagellum. This process is often associated with the innate immune system of a host organism.
