Storyboard Text
- I want to go to school but I feel sick and have a high fever right now. How does people get sick?
- I will tell you the immune system process beginning with the pathogens entry with a story to make it more interesting.
- Yes mom I would love to know!
- Don't worry son I won't send you to school today. I will also be telling you a science topic called the Immune System
- After the pathogen entry to the body...
- I'm the hazardous bacteria. I will fight the human body by infecting it myself.
- Starts with a wounded skin where pathogens can enter into the body
- I'm coronavirus. I am a type of virus who reproduce inside another living cell.
- I'm antibiotic, a drug that fights bacterial infections.
- I am protozoa. I am a single-celled organism with a nucleus who infects the body more dangerously than bacteria.
- My name is fever. I will make hot temperature to destroy you guys. A true hero!
- Invading pathogens are the light blue cylinder.
- Step 3. I'm B-Cell. I make anitgens lock onto foreign making it easier for them for other immune cells to destroy them.
- I am antibody. I identify and help remove foreign antigens or targets like viruses and bacteria
- Step 1. Microphage enters the body. Hormones attracts microphages and it eats up the germ and antigen for other immune cells to see.
- Step 1 Cont. I'm antigen. I am a substance that is introduced into the body, I trigger the production of an antibody by the immune system.
- Step 6. I'm memory b-cell. Some of my friends like me retain memory of the foreign invader and rest until another infection of the exact same pathogen will happen again so once when it happens again, I will be able to produce antibodies.
- Step 2. I'm Helper T-Cell. I am produced in the thymus identifying the foreign antigen on the microphage and begins to multiply and I alert B-Cells and direct the body's defense.
- Step 4. I'm killer t cell. I kill infected cells which prevents them from producing more pathogen.
- Step 5. I'm suppressor t-cell. I I regulate the immune response and responsible for turning off the after the infection has been cleared.
- I'm autoimmune disease. I need help! I don't know which bacteria to kill and I might also kill the normal bacteria by accident!
- I must inject the body before autoimmune disease will kill the wrong bacteria!!!!
- My name is vaccine. I am a type of needle who injects the body which expose the antigens and memory cells to be made .
- That's a very cool story mom!
- I would love to have soup. Thanks mom!
- That's the immune system response! I'll get you soup to make you better son.
- THE END
