thumb|Scanning electron microscope|Scanning electron micrograph of a neutrophil phagocytosing anthrax bacilli (orange)|alt= Long rod-shaped bacteria, one of which has been partially engulfed by a larger blob-shaped white blood cell. The shape of the cell is distorted by undigested bacterium inside it.
A phagocyte is a type of white blood cell that protects the body by engulfing and destroying harmful invaders like bacteria. In the image shown, you can see a neutrophil (a common phagocyte) in the process of consuming anthrax bacteria, demonstrating how these cells actively patrol the body to eliminate threats to health.
