I am studying the phagocytic activity of frog blood cells. After incubating frog whole blood with yeast cells, I had this microscopic image; Could be possible for frog erythrocytes to engulf yeast cell?
Erythrocytes do not have phagocytic abilities :)
Erythrocytes of lower animals have phagocytic abilities.
