Chapter 3.4, Problem 3CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The connection behind smoking and the gathering of phagocytic cells in the lungs of smokers.
Introduction:
Phagocytosis can be defined as the process by which a cell engulfs and digests macromolecules and other particles. Macrophages and certain types of white blood cells are some phagocytic cells of the human body, and hence they hunt down the foreign particles by phagocytosis.
