Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs solid material. The molecule is then internalized in a vesicle of plasma membrane (phagosome) which fuses with a lysosome for destruction. It occurs in the immune system, carried out by phagocytes such as macrophages which are involved in the innate immune response[1].
