This layer of protection is a barrier to infection, but in the textbook version, white blood cells are the ones that fight off disease inside the body.

White Blood Cells: cells of the immune system that are composed of various things. Platelets: Platelets play a fundamental role in hemostasis and are a natural source of growth factors[.
