Immune System:
On the test you will have to match who the Pathogen, First Lines of Defense, Spleen, and White Blood
Cells are to the characters in the story based on what their job is.
Pathogen- What is invading
First Lines of Defense- first attempt to stop the pathogen
Spleen- Instructs the White Blood Cells where to go and what to do
White Blood Cells- What attacks and prevents pathogens from further invading
