T H E I M M U N E F A C T O R The immune system is the body’s chief defense system. It is beautifully designed to protect the body against foreign attackers such as germs, viruses, bacteria, and other creatures generally known as pathogens. The human immune system is composed of the lymphatic vessels and organs (thymus, spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes), white blood cells, specialized cells residing in various tissues, and specialized proteins in the blood. White blood cells are the foot soldiers of the immune system. There are two main types of white blood cells: granulocytes and lymphocytes (-cyte means “cell”). Granulocytes are so called because they contain granules, or tiny sacs, that store chemicals. Granulocytes engulf and destroy bacteria, cancerous cells and dead particles by releasing enzymes from their granules that break the particle into smaller harmless parts. Lymphocytes are a type of white Granulocytes engulf and destroy bacteria blood cell that does not “eat” the invaders. Instead their strategy is to disable them with special destructive chemicals. Lymphocytes play a central role in fighting viral infections and cancer. 36
