Phagocytosis Process: How Immune Cells Destroy Bacteria #1222347 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram depicts the process of phagocytosis, where a phagocyte-a type of white blood cell-surrounds and internalizes a pathogenic bacterium. The bacterium is opsonized by Y-shaped antibodies binding to its surface, enhancing recognition and uptake. The phagocyte’s nucleus (“noyau”) is clearly marked, emphasizing cellular structure during immune response.

Used in biology textbooks, immunology courses, and health education websites to explain innate immunity; targets students, educators, and general readers seeking to understand how the body fights infection.
