Phagocytosis
In cell biology, phagocytosis (from Ancient Greek φαγεῖν (phagein) , meaning "to devour", κύτος, (kytos) , meaning "cell", and -osis, meaning "process") is the process by which a cell—often a phagocyte or a protist—engulfs a solid particle to form an internal vesicle known as a phagosome. Phagocytosis was first noted by Canadian physician William Osler, and later studied by Élie Metchnikoff.
Phagocytosis is a specific form of endocytosis involving the vascular internalization of solids such as bacteria by an organism, and is therefore distinct from other forms of endocytosis such as the vesicular internalization of various liquids (pinocytosis). Phagocytosis is involved in the acquisition of nutrients for some cells. The process is homologous to eating at the level of single-celled organisms; in multicellular animals, the process has been adapted to eliminate debris and pathogens, as opposed to taking in fuel for cellular processes, except in the case of the animal Trichoplax.

by: Eve 61RST VERSE
She's doing body shots off italian guys in Mexico,
I'm all alone,
She's dancing with a vampire to bilingual disco,
I'm all alone,
Cause she went to La Playa for the fire show,
If I could be a fly upon the wall I would know,
I don't mean to be possessive,
But baby please, I'm getting desperate,
CHORUS
No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I don't know why I even try, I need another tequila,
2ND VERSE
She goes out, lets her hair down, bumps up
I'm all alone
She's groovin' to a Coldplay dance mix turned up,
I'm all alone
Cause she went to La Playa for the fire show,
Am I in denial, is she dancing alone,
You don't like my attitude, well,
I don't like your latitude,
CHORUS
No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I don't know why I even try, I need another tequila,
Another tequila,
HOOK
I hope los gran mosquitos gets ya,
And your sun is stormy weather,
I wish I never met you,
CHORUS
No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
I gotta, gotta say no, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15,
Victoria, you're tearin' me up,
You said you'd call, I waited up,
