Cellular compartments in phagocytosis. The phagocyte contains multiple membrane-bound compartments, only some of them are included here. The vesicles mostly belong to the endosomal pathway. The neutrophil granules belong to several types with different content. Some of these compartments exchange membrane and liquid (arrows). The phagosome is filled with a pathogen (blue) surrounded by a limited phagosomal solution (red).
