The Immune System Explained

Neutrophils are aggressive fighters that wipe out enemies by committing suicide; they make toxic nets from their DNA and basically explode. This traps and kills the bacteria.

By attaching to bacteria, the complement proteins mark the enemy and make it easier for the fighters to kill it.

Like complement proteins antibodies are tiny fighters, that make it easier for the others to kill the bacteria. They look a bit like crabs and grab on to the bacteria and then hook onto other antibodies that have hooked onto bacteria. That way clumps are made and the bacteria can‘t get away.
