                                   many bacteria, viruses and microbes.

               body, while some manage to enter. But there are special
               defence cells in our bodies to fight against them that are
               called immune cells. These cells, which are like soldiers
               fighting against the enemy and protecting our bodies
               from dangers, move in the bloodstream. Whenever there
