Host Defense: Total Picture (Non-Specific Immune response) to specific
immune response
White Blood Cells will engulf the bacteria, this happens when the organism
is a foreign element to our body
Bacteria is engulfed in a bag, called digestive vacuole
Action 1.
The Lysosome containing digestive enzymes, fuses with the digestive
vacuole and pours its contents in the digestive vacuole. The bacteria inside
the digestive vacuole ( at his stage is known as Phagolysosome), get
destroyed by the action of the enzymes.
Action 2
These phagocytes also send signals through some soluble products or through
physical contacts, to another kind of white cells (T cells) that in turn ask some
cells (B Cells) to produce antibodies against the invador.
Signaling through contacts
