How does your immune system work? - Emma Bryce

Explore how your immune system’s vast network of cells, tissues, and organs coordinate your body’s defenses against bacteria, viruses and toxins.

--

The immune system is a vast network of cells, tissues, and organs that coordinate your body’s defenses against any threats to your health. Without it, you’d be exposed to billions of bacteria, viruses, and toxins that could make something as minor as a paper cut or a seasonal cold fatal. So how does it work? Emma Bryce takes you inside the body to find out.

Everytime you feel worthless, remember that there are millions of immune cells willing to die for you.

Can I just say how amazing this channel is. It has really helped me with just those small topics I struggle with. You have really helped me with my mocks last year (even though that's all gone down the drain due to the 3rd UK lockdown) and I greatly thank you for this help. I would donate on Patreon but I don't have the money.

Watching this video is making me realize how hard my immune system works for me and how much I don't deserve them for eating so much junk :')

Wow that’s much much easier to remember and learn than a book 📚 😂

[AM_I_Able]

I wasn't even assigned this in class, but I needed to learn about the basics and chose this. TED-Ed videos are so much better than others and provide WAY more facts in an easy way to understand.
