The cells and tissues of the body that fight invading organisms

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your home safe from unwanted pests like ants or mice. Just like you set up barriers, traps, and call in professionals to keep these invaders out, your immune system works in a similar way to protect your body from harmful organisms. In this analogy, your home's walls and doors are like your skin and mucous membranes, the traps are like specialized cells that capture invaders, and the professionals are akin to immune cells that actively seek out and destroy pathogens, all working together to maintain a secure environment.
