But as a general thing thephagocytes do not succeed in making away with all the pathogenic germs, or even with enough of them to prevent the illness which they tend to produce.
Elenor Was one of many to cross seas and bring Life strength against the emperor, once secure, And throned in power against such phagocytes As Elenor Murray, Bernard, even kings.
And sawing wood at Amerongen all He thought of was of brains and monstrous hearts Which sent the phagocytes from America, England and France to eat him up at last.
The phagocytes absorb morbid matter, poisons or microorganisms by enveloping them with their own bodies.
The general result of such conditions is that there comes to be a struggle between the higher cells and the phagocytes in which the latter have the advantage.
In the brain of the two centenarians (one of whom died at the age of 117 years) there were very many nerve-cells surrounded by phagocytes and in process of being destroyed by them.
Certain substances, notably the poisons of such diseases as syphilis and the products of intestinal putrefaction, stimulate the activity of the phagocytes and so encourage their encroachment on the higher tissues.
In the first place, he has stated that in old people, and even if these are very old, it is rare to find phagocytes surrounding and devouring the cells of the brain.
The phagocytes resist the influence of invading poisons better than any of the other cells of the body and sometimes are stimulated by them.
It is manifest that the tissues do not invariably degenerate in old age, nor do all the organs that are modified in old age show destruction byphagocytes and replacement by connective tissue.
Such a source of phagocytosis is the neuroglœa in nervous tissues, the sarcoplasm in muscular tissues; the bones contain osteoclasts and the liver and the kidneys are readily invaded by phagocytes from the blood.
These are the phagocytes that destroy the higher elements of the body, such as the nervous and muscular cells, and the cells of the liver and kidneys.
Especially in the case of infectious diseases has the protective part performed by the leucocytary phagocytes been brought into full view by M.
Sometimes, however, disintegration results in solid wastes, and the phagocytes do the work of carrying them away.
These phagocytes or leucocytes are the nomadic elements of our economy.
The phagocytes are numerous in the sanguineous fluid, but are still six hundred and fifty times less so than the red corpuscles.
The fact that this immense army of phagocytes is always in motion was first clearly recognized by Cohnheim, in 1867.
Thereupon they dropped all reference to the Lamberts and their trials, and turned their minds upon phagocytes and other ravening mites whose likes and dislikes, minute as they are, work more devastation than cannon.
The habits of the Esquimaux, the customs of the dwarfs of Central Africa, the ways of the baboons of Sumatra are minutely set to book, but the wars of the phagocytesremain indeterminate, unexplained.
Now, when the tadpole is ready to dispense with its tail, the blood and lymph and the phagocytes take it up particle by particle and carry it back into the body where it can be used just as any other good food would be.
Apparently the toad tadpole's tail is dissolved by the blood and lymph rather than being eaten up by the phagocytes, although the phagocytes do a part of the work.
All these experiments proved that the extracellular destruction of the cholera vibrio was accomplished by the digestive juices which had passed from the phagocytes into the humors and not at all through a special property of those humors.
Metchnikoff explained these facts by the theory that the phagocytes became accustomed, gradually, through vaccination, to strive against more and more virulent microbes.
It is in consequence of the digestion of vaccinal products that the phagocytesmanufacture the fixator.
This similarity again proves that the destruction of morbid agents by the phagocytes really corresponds with actual digestion.
Artificial immunisation generally produces the formation of so great a quantity of fixators that the phagocytes are unable to retain them and excrete them in part in the ambient humors, i.
Besredka, a disciple of Metchnikoff, made some very interesting researches, which entirely confirmed the share of the phagocytes in the reaction against sulphides of arsenic.
All his ulterior researches, his studies on the various categories of phagocytes and their properties, on their digestive liquids, on the formation of antitoxins, on the different properties acquired by the blood, etc.
They are inactive if the phagocytes have not produced enough fixators to pass any out into the humors.
Humoral properties may be more or less durable, in proportion as the products manufactured by the phagocytes are more or less rapidly evacuated by the organism.
Those experiments removed all doubts as to the share of the phagocytes in the destruction of mineral poisons.
Yet, Behring's discovery of antitoxins still hung over it like a sword of Damocles; it was imperative that the respective parts played by antitoxins and by phagocytes should be elucidated.
Fortunately, sufficient phagocytes had been released to take care of that.
Joan sincerely hoped that enough of the phagocytes had been released by the innoculation to render her immune from further attack forever.
The stronger the virus injected of that disease, the greater the number of phagocytes formed; and it is the presence of these detached phagocytes after the virus has run its course that render the patient immune from further attack.
Metchnikoff's idea is that when a disease manifests itself a certain number of phagocytes detach themselves from the blood to fight it.
I wish more of their ownphagocytes would begin to preach non-resistance and try to teach great moral lessons to invading germs.
Watch our phagocytes come forward now, just as those tiny white corpuscles rush through the blood to an invaded spot.
The battle between these phagocytes and the bacteria goes on vigorously.
It is based at the foundation, doubtless, upon the powers of the body cells, either the phagocytes or other active cells.
They multiply too rapidly, and sometimes they produce secretions which actually drive the phagocytes away.
The origin of the poisons and the exact method of action of the phagocytes we may well leave to the future to explain.
It is equally dependent upon whether he has the bodily vigour to produce alexines in proper quantity, or to summon the phagocytes in sufficient abundance and vigour to ward off the attack.
If in the end the phagocytes prove too strong for the invaders, the bacteria are gradually all destroyed, and the attack is repelled.
Nature has provided, in the white corpuscles as you call them--in the phagocytes as we call them--a natural means of devouring and destroying all disease germs.
Well, I heard this theory that the phagocytes eat up the disease germs years ago: long before you came into fashion.
We shall begin stimulating the phagocytes on--on--probably on Tuesday next; but I will let you know.
It stimulated the phagocytes; and the phagocytes did the rest.
The phagocytes wont eat the microbes unless the microbes are nicely buttered for them.
The other is the phagocytes or white corpuscles, the free lances of our corporeal militia, which attack and kill the invading bacteria.
The question has been hotly debated and is not yet settled whether the phagocytes best defend us by their life or by their death.
Or if that cannot be done, the next best thing is to inject some serum that by a natural reaction will stimulate the body to prepare in excess its own antitoxin or excite the phagocytes to greater exertions in overcoming their enemies.
The phagocytes show an unfortunate predilection for the higher elements of the human organism and, according to Metchnikoff, the most distressing symptom of old age, the weakening of the mind, is due to their devouring the nerve cells.
The dead bodies of the phagocytes thus killed are found in the pus, or matter, which accumulates in infected wounds.
If bacteria are present in great quantities, they may prevail and kill the phagocytes by poisoning them.
By analogy one might expect to find bacteria secreting specific substances which would tend to counteract the destructive action of the phagocytes and bactericidal substances.
The phagocytes engulf bacteria, carry them into the tissues and either destroy them, are destroyed by them, or may disgorge or excrete them free in the tissues or in the blood.
He admitted the presence of these substances, though giving them other names, but ascribed their formation to the phagocytes or to the same organs which form the leukocytes--lymphoid tissue generally, bone marrow.
Doubtless such bacteria are carried through the walls of the secreting tubules or of the smaller ducts by phagocytes and are then set free in the milk.
Because they are at once eaten by the vigilant phagocytes of the blood before they can produce any appreciable amount of poison.
In many of us the phagocytes are not at a given moment so "avid" of this or that disease-microbe as they should be in order to protect us from its multiplication and poison production.
It is proved that this aroused avidity of the phagocytes is due to no change in the phagocytes themselves; since if they are transferred to the serum of a normal man they show no such predilection for the special invading microbe.
The phagocytes swallow them greedily and make an end of the invasion.
The attempts to produce immunity by vaccination with weakened or localised disease germs is really an attempt to train and develop to a high point the activities of the phagocytes or eater-cells of the blood.
Special and remarkable properties--chemical activities of an extraordinary character--have been gradually developed in the floating phagocytes and in similar non-floating fixed cells over which the blood flows.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "phagocytes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
