Phagocytes: ingest and digest pathogens, they detect the presence of
pathogens because of the chemicals
they give off. The cell engulfs the pathogens and destroys (breaks
down) the cell with digestive enzymes
Lymphocytes: produce antibodies to deactivate pathogens. They release
antibodies specific to the cell.
The antibodies produced can help break down the pathogen and clump the
groups of pathogen together.
