Phagocytosis Process: How Immune Cells Destroy Bacteria #1358309 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram depicts the key steps of phagocytosis: antibody-mediated opsonization of a bacterium, followed by recognition and engulfment by a phagocytic immune cell. The phagocyte’s membrane extends around the pathogen, forming a phagosome that fuses with lysosomes for destruction. The labeled nucleus (“noyau”) indicates the cell’s eukaryotic nature.
