Phagocytes of humans and other animals are called professional or non-professional, depending on how good they are at phagocytosis. The professional phagocytes are neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells.
Phagocytes include white blood cells known as macrophages and neutrophils. Phagocytes dispose of cells that have undergone apoptosis, or programmed cell death.ead or dying cells are disposed of by nonprofessional phagocytes. The cells put out chemical signals that allow the phagocyte to detect their decline, so it can then ingest the dying cells using phagocytosis. Professional phagocytes also use phagocytosis to dispose of bacteria and other microbes.
