How do white blood cells protect the body?
White blood cells in the body can attack pathogens, which are micro-organisms which cause disease.
The white blood cells can ingest the pathogen, produce antibodies which destroy a particular pathogen, or produce antitoxins which get rid of the harmful substances, or toxins, that the pathogen produces.
