phagosome
phagosome[′fag·ə‚sōm] (cell and molecular biology) A closed intracellular vesicle containing material captured by phagocytosis. phagosome
phagosome [fag´o-sōm] a membrane-bound vesicle in a phagocyte containing the phagocytized material.phag·o·some (fag'ō-sōm), A vesicle that forms around a particle (bacterial or other) within the phagocyte that engulfed it, separates from the cell membrane, and then fuses with and receives the contents of cytoplasmic granules (lysosomes), thus forming a phagolysosome in which digestion of the engulfed particle occurs. [phago- + G. sōma, body] phagosome (făg′ə-sōm′)n. A membrane-bound vesicle found in a cell by an inward folding of the cell membrane to hold foreign matter taken into the cell by phagocytosis.phag·o·some (fag'ō-sōm) A vesicle that forms around a particle (bacterial or other) within the phagocyte that engulfed it, separates from the cell membrane, then fuses with and receives the contents of cytoplasmic granules (lysosomes), thus forming a phagolysosome in which digestion of the engulfed particle occurs. [phago- + G. sōma, body]phagosome The vacuole, formed within a PHAGOCYTE, that surrounds material that has been taken up by cell membrane invagination. A phagosome may fuse with a lysosome to provide digestive enzyme. |
