If you’ve been through the immunology basics and know what a phagocyte is but want to understand more about some of the processes they and other cells use are here are some resources.
If you don’t know what a phagocyte is start here or check out the thread on Learning about the immune system.
Bite Sized Immunology
Phagocytosis
https://www.immunology.org/public-information/bitesized-immunology/systems-processes/phagocytosis
Khan Academy Biology Archive
Bulk transport (particularly relevant as it covers endocytosis, phagocytosis, and pinocytosis, this is what you want to understand receptor mediated endocytosis)
https://www.khanacademy.org/science...rt/v/endocytosis-phagocytosis-and-pinocytosis
Membranes and transport (the whole archive on cell membranes and different ways of transporting things in and out of a cell, quite extensive)
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/membranes-and-transport
Khan Academy AP Biology
Cell Structure and Function (AP Biology course which is more structured )
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/cell-structure-and-function
Particularly the module on Membrane Transport (which covers the core topics of cell membranes and different ways of transporting things in and out of a cell in a more structured and succinct way)
