ploy in identifying the enemy has not yet been clearly
understood.
Despite all the technology at its disposal, mankind
has still not been able to solve the details of the system
these cells use to identify the enemy. Perhaps future
technological advances will throw light on this system
and this subject will no longer be a mystery. This, too,
would be a piece of evidence proving the perfection of
the current system, and what an intricate plan is in-
volved in its creation.

Blood Cells
- Thrombocytes: The coagulation of blood is con-
sidered an ordinary event, which is largely ignored by
people. However, if the perfect system which makes
this possible had not existed, human beings would ex-
perience significant risks and even bleed to death from
the slightest injuries. The thrombocyte, which is one of
the blood cells produced in the bone marrow, serves
this function. It also includes a substance called seroto-
nin that plays an important
role in allergic reactions.
- Eosinophil: These
blood cells have the ability to
perform phagocytosis, i.e. de-
stroy (phagocytose) any for-

- Basophil: A big, rough
and single-nucleus blood cell

ties in the blood, and abun-
