Phagocytosis of microbes by macrophages is enhanced by both the binding of antibodies to the surface of microbes & antibody-mediated opsonization of microbes

What is the function of phagocytosis?

Phagocytosis is the cellular process through which particles bigger than 0.5 m in diameter, such as bacteria, foreign substances, and apoptotic cells, are ingested and eliminated.

  • Phagocytosis is found in many different types of cells and is hence an important step for tissue homeostasis.
  • However, only specialized cells known as professional phagocytes are capable of high-efficiency phagocytosis.
  • Among these specialized cells are macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells, and osteoclasts.

Phagocytosis occurs in four stages:

I identification of the particle to be swallowed,

ii) activation of the internalization process,

iii) development of a specialized vacuole known as a phagosome,

iv) maturation of the phagosome to turn it into a phagolysosome.

Hence, the correct option is A
