New cards

Chemotaxis

Part 1: cells move up a concentration gradient navigated by blood cells via chemokine trails

2
New cards

Adherence

Part 2: immune cells bind pathogen cells by binding PAMPs which recognize and bind white blood cells via unique motifs

3
New cards

Ingestion

Part 3: pseudopods emerge from the phagocyte and wrap around the pathogen, are then ingested and break down the pathogen via digestion enzymes and low pH

4
New cards

Digestion

Part 4: phagosomes and lysosomes fuse to form phagolysosomes which attack and break down pathogens and eject the remnants as a residual body
