Phagocytes that have engulfed pathogens release cytokines, acting as chemical signals to alert other phagocytes about an attack and its location. Opsonins bind to pathogens, tagging them for easier recognition by phagocyte receptors, thus facilitating phagocytosis.
Los fagocitos que han engullido patógenos liberan citoquinas, actuando como señales químicas para alertar a otros fagocitos sobre un ataque y su ubicación. Las opsoninas se unen a los patógenos, etiquetándolos para un reconocimiento más fácil por los receptores de los fagocitos, lo que facilita la fagocitosis.

| Back | phagocytes (that have englulfed pathogens) produce chemicals (cytokines) which act as cell signalling molecules, informing other phagocytes that body under attack and site of it, opsonins bind to pathogens and tag them so theyre more easily recognised, phagocytes receptors bind to opsonins and phagocytes engulf pathogen |
