329 - How does the immune system protect our bodies?

Your immune system is like a superhero that protects your body from bad guys (germs and viruses). Here's how it works:

  1. Recognize the enemy: Your immune system can tell the difference between healthy cells and bad cells.
  2. Send in the soldiers: White blood cells (like neutrophils and T-cells) attack the bad cells.
  3. Make special medicine: Your body creates antibodies, which are like customized medicines that fight specific germs.
  4. Remove the bad cells: Your immune system helps remove the infected cells or germs from your body.

Your immune system is always on the lookout for bad cells and works hard to keep you healthy.
