Macrophage engulfing bacteria. Computer illustration of a macrophage white blood cells (large, translucent) engulfing bacteria (purple and yellow). Macrophages are cells of the body's immune system that are found in the tissues rather than in the circulating blood. They recognise foreign particles, such as cancer cells and bacteria, and phagocytose (engulf) and digest them.
