The Journey of a White Blood Cell
Image of
White blood cells are made in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen.
They travel through the bloodstream and lymphatic system, looking for signs of
infection.
When they find an infection, they attack and destroy the invading organism.
Speaker Notes
White blood cells are our body's natural defense against infection. They are
constantly on the lookout for harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Slide 6
The Journey of a Platelet
Platelets are made in the bone marrow.
They travel through the bloodstream and help to form blood clots when a blood
vessel is damaged.
This process helps to prevent excessive bleeding.
Speaker Notes
Platelets are essential for preventing blood loss. They form a sticky plug at the
site of an injury, sealing the blood vessel and stopping the flow of blood.
