Phagocytes neutralize toxic substances through a process called phagocytosis. During phagocytosis, phagocytes engulf toxic particles into a specialized compartment known as a phagosome. The phagosome then fuses with lysosomes to form a phagolysosome, where enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) break down and neutralize the toxic substances. This process is critical in preventing the spread of toxins and minimizing their harmful effects on the body.
