Phagocytosis involves several steps, including the recognition and binding of the target, ingestion, and digestion. This process is mediated by receptors on the surface of phagocytic cells, such as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and Fc receptors. Once a target is recognized, it is engulfed into a phagosome, which then fuses with lysosomes to form a phagolysosome, where digestion occurs.
