Mobile immune system cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other microbes?
macrophages
What are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as dibris from dead cells?
white blood cells or immune system....
What type of immune response would occur if bacteria invaded your lymph?
Since the bacteria has already invaded your body, the second stage of defense is required. The lymphocytes will engulf the bacteria and digest it using lysosomes. When the bacteria is gone, fragments of the bacteria are left behind by the lymphocyte to allow some T-cells to identify the bacteria's antigen.
What is the function of the monocytes?
Monocytes play many roles within the immune system. They replenish macrophages and they respond to inflammation signals by moving quickly to the tissues that are affected.
What stimulates a person's body to produce chemicals that destroy vireses or bacteria?
The best answer would be Antibodies; however, these do not chemically "attack" viruses or bacteria. More accurately, antibodies recognize various germs and allow the various cell types of your immune system to attack and destroy these germs directly. For more info on how this works see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_immune_system
What is he process whereby cells ingest and destroy bacteria within the body called?
Phagocytosis is the process by which cells ingest and destroy bacteria in the body. This process makes up part of the immune function.
Mobile immune system cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other microbes?
macrophages
Is your immune system the white blood cells?
Yes, your immune system is a "team" of white blood cells that swallow other opposing cells or bacteria, and then destroy them. This process may destroy the blood cell.
What is the job of a macrophage?
They are used in the first (primary) line of the immune response. These are NOT SPECIALIZED phagocytes, as you can tell, carry out their function via phagocytosis. They engulf bacteria in various ways, but usually just grab the bacteria, engulf it, let it die, and then they die. Helper T and Antibodies mark viruses and bacteria that get past these for destruction. The macrophages recognize the bacteria, and engulf them. Their primary role is to engulf bacteria. They are non-specific.
Does white blood cells called basophils engulf and digest bacteria?
White blood cells are blood cells that engulf and digest bacteria and fungi. Basophil is a white blood cell with granules that stain with basic dyes.
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
lysosomes
What are neutrophils lymphocyts and eosinophils and what do they do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophils lymphocytes would be the top category
What are cells that engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign substances as well as dibris from dead cells?
white blood cells or immune system....
What are some ways microbes evade the body's immune system?
Microbes evade the immune system through inhibition of phagocytosis by affecting the receptors that phagocytes use to engulf bacteria or by mimicking host cells so that the immune system does not recognize them as foreign.
Can bacteria harm your immune system?
Some can. One thing that can happen, is that if your immune system is fighting one infection, it can leave you vulnerable to a second one. Some bacteria have been discovered to produce chemicals that destroy immune cells in order to defend themselves.
How white blood cell react in response to pathogens?
Some white blood cells (WBCs) signal the immune response, others produce antibodies, and others engulf and destroy infectious agents.
What type of immune response would occur if bacteria invaded your lymph?
Since the bacteria has already invaded your body, the second stage of defense is required. The lymphocytes will engulf the bacteria and digest it using lysosomes. When the bacteria is gone, fragments of the bacteria are left behind by the lymphocyte to allow some T-cells to identify the bacteria's antigen.
