Immune System Flow Chart
Pathogen
Disease causing agent
1
Macrophage
Move to site of infection and
ingests bacteria and debris
2
T-Cell
The killer T cells serve to then prevent the replication of the virus.
The helper T cells activate an infected cell of the immune system so that it is able to cure
itself. The basic function of a helper T cell is to stimulate the macrophages and focus
other immune cells onto the infection. Another important function of the helper T cells is
to aide in the activation of B cell proliferation so that more antibodies can be produced.

B-Cell
4
Plasma Cells
5
Antibodies
The antibody then binds to the bacteria
making them easier to ingest by white cells.
