Question 3
The immune system defends the body like an army defends a territory, fighting off invaders (pathogens). The ocean, car engine, or computer don't parallel its defensive, cell - based fighting role.
White blood cells (leukocytes) are produced in the bone marrow (inside bones). The thymus matures T - cells, the brain and heart don't make white blood cells.
B and T cells are types of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). Phagocytes are different (e.g., macrophages), they aren't bacteria or antigens (antigens are foreign substances that trigger an immune response).
