Solution
The cells that are phagocytes and can also present antigens to cells are macrophages and monocytes. These cells are part of the immune system. Macrophages are large white blood cells that are found in essentially all tissues, where they patrol for potential pathogens by amoeboid movement. They take up cellular debris and pathogens both by active phagocytosis and by binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on microbes. Monocytes are a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell. They are the largest type of leukocyte and can differentiate into macrophages and myeloid lineage dendritic cells. As a part of the vertebrate innate immune system monocytes also influence the process of adaptive immunity.
