| Products of complement activation cause smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability and induce degranulation of phagocytic cells, mast cells, and basophils. |
| In general, chemotactic and phagocytic responses are significantly reduced. |
| Antibodies bind to and neutralize pathogens or prepare them for uptake and destruction by phagocytic cells. |
| Again, the function of this mesothelium apart from the germ-cell is essentially excretory and phagocytic. |
| The next most common milk leukocyte is the macrophage, which is phagocytic like neutrophils and performs a number of other protective functions. |
| These lipid-laden phagocytic cells tend to deposit within the skin and tendons, leading to xanthomas. |
