what is the function of lysosomes in macrophage
A macrophage uses a process called phagocytosis to destroy and get rid of unwanted particles in the body. Phagocytosis literally means 'eat cell.' The process works like this: as the macrophage engulfs the particle, a pocket called a phagosome is formed around it.Then, enzymes are released into the phagosome by an organelle within the macrophage called a lysosome.uch like the enzymes in our own stomach are released to digest our food, the enzymes released by the lysosome digest the particle. The remaining debris, or what is left of the particle, exits the macrophage to be absorbed back into the body. Macrophages clean up a wide variety of unwanted foreign bodies.
