Descriptor fagosomas
Entry term(s) fagolisosomas
Scope note: Vesículas intracitoplasmáticas, rodeadas de una membrana, que se forman por la invaginación de material fagocitado. Se unen a los lisosomas para formar los fagolisosomas en los que las enzimas hidrolíticas digieren el material fagocitado.
