A white blood cell that fights pathogens, a B cell or T cell

Real World Example

Imagine you're hosting a party, and unexpected guests arrive, potentially causing chaos. Similarly, our body constantly hosts a "party" where unwanted guests, like pathogens, can show up uninvited. Just as you might have security guards (B cells and T cells) to manage and remove these disruptive guests, your immune system uses lymphocytes to identify and eliminate harmful invaders, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
