An Overview of the steps in Phagocytosis

I liked this video a lot, because, it shows in details how phagocytosis works. It is fairly short, but shows exactly what we need to know, and exaclty what we learned in class. Except, they didn't show the last step in phagocytosis, which is Elimination. They stopped at digestion of fusion of phagosome. However, overall, I think that it is a great video of phagocytosis.

Directions on how to open this video:
Top left hand corner of the green box, click on "open"; then, poing to "Innate Immunity", and then click on "Phagocytosis". This should take you to the video.
