THE IMMUNE SYSTEM


The first line of immune system is the skin. It is also one of the biggest organism and it will help you protect against any virus or bacteria. The white blood cell is the defender of the body, there goal is to maintain homeostasis (to keep the body stable and good healthy) Lymphatic system =a system on highway that white blood cells travel. White blood cells attack germs. Germs are very tiny. The B cell searches for antigens. (the weapons).Antibody are shaped proteins they will attack anything that is bad for your body and that might cause you any health problems, They are unique. There's also a T helper cell and they are white blood cells that contact activate B cells and killer T cells. Well Killer T cells are the ones that attack good cells that have been infected. The difference between a T cell and a B cell is that the T cells are white blood cells that contact activate B cells and killer T cells , and the B cells search for weapons. The difference between a T cell and a Killer T cell is that the T cell contact and the killer T cells attack.

The macrophage is the big eater. micro is big and phage is eater. They eat anything marked with an antibody. The difference between a bacteria and a virus is that the bacteria can multiply and the virus needs hosts in order to reproduce.
