The immune system
The body system that helps fight off sickness is called the immune system. It is made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body.
White blood cells (leukocytes) are part of this defense system. There are two types of these germ-fighting cells: phagocytes, which chew up invading germs, and lymphocytes, which allow the body to remember and recognize previous invaders.
Everyone gets sick sometimes. But your immune system helps you get well again. And if you have your shots (vaccines), your body is extra-prepared to fight off serious illnesses. If you get the shot that covers measles, for instance, it protects you from getting measles if you're ever exposed to it.
30. What is the condition, apart from the immune system, to avoid the risk of getting sick?
A) To get well again
B) To have our vaccines
C) To have a defense system
