Immune cells that operate by phagocytizing harmful bacteria

Immune cells that operate by phagocytizing harmful bacteria, rely on their cytoskeleton for their ability to move and for their ability release molecules that attract other immune cells.Explain which parts of the cytoskeleton are involved in these two processes and how cytoskeletal proteins are able to help the cell move, and also release signaling molecules.

Solution

Leucocytes ie..Macrophages are the primary cells invovled in phagocytosis, the engulfment of the harmful bacterial cells for this lysosomes are the organelles invovled in the formation of phagolysosome complex which release hydrolytic acid hydrolases so that it digested the pathogenic bacteria, for the movement of the vesicles in the phagolysosome the cytoskeleton microfilaments invovled in the movement of the lysosomes.

In signalling pathways the activation of the T cells occurs due to the cytoskeleton actin filaments which triggers for the the formation of T cells,shape development , movement, formation of the synapses.thus it plays a major role in the immune response
