Methods of removing microbe in a body
Phagocytosis, antibodies, antitoxins.
2 of 5
Phagocytosis
The white blood cell engulfs microbes, holds microbes inside itself and then digests microbes.
3 of 5
Antibodies
The white blood cell identifies microbes by looking at the proteins on the outside of the microbe, which are called antigens. Then it makes antibodies that is specific to the microbe to inactivate it. It then sticks to it to inactivate it.
4 of 5
Antitoxins
When the bacteria makes toxins, the white blood cell will make antitoxins. Antitoxin binds to toxin to prevent it causing damage.
