| Front | Describe the steps of phagocytosis |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Phagocyte recognizes foreign antigen on the surface of pathogen 2. Phagocyte forms a phagosome and engulfs the pathogen 3. pathogen held in phagocytic vacuole 4. lysosomes move around pathogen and release enzyme lysozyme which hydrolyses cell wall of pathogen 5. Phagocyte presents pathogens antigen on its surface so T- lympocyte can activate a immune response. |
