In cell biology, phagocytosis ({etymology|grc|{{lang|grc|φαγεῖν} (phagein) |to devour||κύτος, (kytos) |cell||-osis|process}}) is the process by which a cell—often a phagocyte or a protist—engulfs a solid particle to form an internal vesicle known as a phagosome. Phagocytosis was revealed by Élie Metchnikoff in 1882. Phagocytosis i...

endocytosis of particulate material, such as microorganisms or cell fragments. The material is taken into the cell in membrane-bound vesicles (phagosomes) that originate as pinched off invaginations of the plasma membrane. Phagosomes fuse with lysosomes, forming phagolysosomes in which the engulfed material is killed and digested.

The process of engulfing and destroying extracellularly-derived material by a phagocytic cell, such as macrophage, neutrophil, or amoeba. Phagocytosis ('cell eating') is a form of endocytosis. In it, the cell changes shape by sending out projections called pseudpodia. The phagocytic cell may be att...

Phagocytosis: The process by which a cell engulfs particles such as bacteria, other microorganisms, aged red blood cells, foreign matter, etc. The principal phagocytes (cells that can engage in phagocytosis) include the neutrophils and monocytes (types of white blood cells). The prefix 'phago-' comes from the Greek 'phago' meaning 'to eat.'
