which of the following is an example of phagocytosis in the human body? options: vacuolar digestion of a solvent, expulsion of a specific volume of blood from the left ventricle, a white blood cell engulfing a bacterium, expulsion of air from the lungs, i dont know yet
Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf large particles or microorganisms. White blood cells (like macrophages or neutrophils) engulf bacteria as part of the immune response. The other options: vacuolar digestion of a solute is more about intracellular digestion of small solutes, expulsion of blood from the left ventricle is part of circulation, and expulsion of air from the lungs is exhalation, none of which are phagocytosis.
