Answer
A Phagocyte sends out pseudopods when foreign particles bind to plasma membrane receptors of the phagocyte (e.g. macrophage). A pseudopod --projection of cytoplasm and plasma membrane encircles the particle and forms a vesicle ( phagosome) outside the phagocyte. The vesicle is progressively drawn into the cytoplasm where if fuses with a lysome. Lysomal enzymes are secreted into the vesicle where they digest the trapped particle, cell or other living entity.
Work Step by Step
The two main types of phagocytes are macrophages and blood neutrophils.
