The process in which a phagocyte engulfs and digests a pathogen.

White blood cells make an important contribution through three processes: phagocytosis, antibody production and antitoxin production.

The pathogen is enclosed inside the phagocyte and broken down by digestive enzymes. This process is called phagocytosis.

For phagocytosis, include both stages: the white blood cell engulfs the pathogen and then digests it using enzymes.
