Immune system
 A complex network of white blood cells,
immune factors and antibodies.
 Protects us against bacteria, virus, fungi.
 When the Immune system is properly
functioning, it releases the right
number, types of KIBC to meet & resolve
the challenge
 The two cells involved: B cell & T cell
 B cells
 White blood cells

 Produce antibodies
specific to antigen that

(plasma cells)
stimulated their
production
B cells (plasma cells)
 Involved in: > inflammatory
reactions
> increase number of cells for
strong defence
> destruction of cancer and
infected calls
 First cell to become aware of presence

of foreign cells
