The Bodies Defences

These are white blood cells

They are found in the blood (as the name suggests) If any dodgy looking characters are found in the body there are a number of things they can do to fight against them.

 


 

REMEMBER

The body has different ways of protecting itself against pathogens.
White blood cells help to defend against pathogens:
− by ingesting pathogens
− by producing antibodies which destroy particular bacteria or viruses
− by producing antitoxins which counteract the toxins (poisons) released by pathogens.
