zation we call an "army" is made up of cells which can

scope. Their ability to protect and guard their sites,
their willingness to lay down their own lives to save the
life of the human body they belong to, their unyielding

continue its struggle without any mistake? Are there, by

our defence cells do not need any commanders or man-
agers. Their system operates in a very regulated man-

anarchy or confusion during the process. The reason
for this perfection and extremely effective functioning is

details and inspired the elements of this system to fulfill
