- Synopsis
- These pages show three different ways white blood cells destroy pathogens and protect the body. It is a multi-page image set on three pages. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. Ingesting and destroying microorganisms: This image shows a white blood cell filling the left of the page. On the left of the cell is a lobed nucleus. On the right of the page is a pathogen. It has tiny flagella all over its surface and a small oval nucleus. It is being engulfed by the white blood cell. Producing antibodies: This image shows a white blood cell filling the left of the page. In the centre of the cell is a round nucleus. On the right of the page are three bacteria. They have tiny flagella all over their surfaces and each has a small oval nucleus. The one in the right centre and bottom right have an antigen attached to them. The white blood cell has produced four antibodies with cup-like indentations. One of these antibodies has attached itself to the antigen on the bottom right bacterium. Producing antitoxins: This image shows a white blood cell filling the left of the page. In the centre of the cell is a round nucleus. On the bottom right of the page is a bacterium. It has tiny flagella all over its surface and a small oval nucleus. Up from the bacterium are three triangular toxin molecules. The white blood cell is producing antitoxin molecules. Two are attached to its right surface, one is floating to the right and the fourth is down from the white blood cell. It has attached itself to a toxin molecule, to neutralise it.
