| Name: | caudal hematopoietic tissue |

| Name: | phagocytosis, engulfment |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | phagosome biosynthesis, phagosome formation |
| Definition: | The internalization of bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter or of an apoptotic cell by phagocytosis, including the membrane and cytoskeletal processes required, which involves one of three mechanisms: zippering of pseudopods around a target via repeated receptor-ligand interactions, sinking of the target directly into plasma membrane of the phagocytosing cell, or induced uptake via an enhanced membrane ruffling of the phagocytosing cell similar to macropinocytosis. |
