Pseudopodia: Temporary, arm-like extensions of a cell used in moving or engulfing food or other particles. They play a key role in phagocytosis.
White Blood Cells: These cells use phagocytosis to engulf and destroy pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
A membrane-bound compartment inside eukaryotic cells. It is used for the transport of substances into the cell after they have been engulfed by the process of endocytosis, which includes phagocytosis.
