Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of phagocytosis, which is a mechanism used by cells to engulf and digest pathogens and debris.
Identify the stages of phagocytosis: Chemotaxis, Adhesion, Ingestion, Digestion, and Exocytosis.
Chemotaxis is the movement of phagocytes towards the site of infection in response to chemical signals.
Adhesion involves the binding of phagocytes to the pathogen or debris.
Exocytosis is the process of expelling undigested material from the cell, which is not a stage of phagocytosis itself but rather a subsequent process.
