Parts of the Immune System

Introducing the Cast of Characters

If we think about the immune defense as a drama played out in our bodies, the first thing that we need to do is familiarize ourselves with the players and the scenery/locations. For example, you are  fairly familiar with the circulatory system, you probably are not sure what the lymph system is.  You've heard of White Blood Cells, but probably don't know the difference between the T cells, B cells and Macrophages.  We learned about endocytosis, but think about a specific version of this called phagocytosis.
