What happens if the white blood cells are not able to stop invading pathogens?

White blood cells are the good cells in the body. Yes you do need red and white blood cells, but the white ones fight off diseases or pathogens. If white blood cells cannot do this then the immune system fails. The pathogens depending on their severity, could hurt the body very much. Doctors do different tests and procedures to help this not happen. White blood cells are needed to protect the body from pathogens. When they cannot stop the invading pathogens, a person will most likely get sick. on NovaNet I'm pretty sure that the answer is the person will die:))


What will happen if the white bloods cells are not able to stop the invading pathogens?

then antibodies are produced to help If the blood cell did not able stop the pathogen then it will result in disease or toxicity which will make the person ill and may be it can result in immunity for feature


How do white blood cells know what to attack?

All cells carry unique proteins on their cell membranes. These are called antigens, and when white blood cells come across an unfamiliar antigen, they will treat the cell (or bacterium) as hostile, and treat it as such by releasing antibodies, or by engulfing the cell.


White blood cells able to eat cell debris and pathogens?

White blood cells, specifically macrophages and neutrophils, are able to engulf and digest cell debris and pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. These cells play a crucial role in the immune response by removing harmful substances from the body and helping to fight infections.


What cell is usually the first to spot invading germs?

The macrophages are typically the first cells to detect and respond to invading germs in the body. They are part of the innate immune system and are able to recognize and engulf pathogens to initiate an immune response.


Which cells are able to protect the body by engulfing foreign cells or producing antibodies?

Immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils are able to engulf foreign cells through a process called phagocytosis. B cells and T cells are specialized in producing antibodies to target and neutralize foreign invaders.


What blood cell kills infections?

White blood cells attack, engulfs and kills pathogens. Various types of white blood cells exist and each one is specialized on killing different types of pathogens. There are white cells that kill pathogens that cause acute infections while others target pathogens that cause chronic infections. The proportion of white cells found on examinationod blood sample could suggest the nature of infection we are dealing with.


Which cells are able to carry on the process phagocytosis?

Phagocytosis is carried out by specialized cells called phagocytes, which include neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells are part of the body's immune system and are responsible for engulfing and digesting pathogens and foreign particles.


Can all white blood cells attack any kind of pathogen?

No, the white blood cells are divided into many types of specialized cells. The Macrophages, Granulocytes, Natural Killer cells and Dendritic (Lagerhans) cells are part of the immuno response system's first line of defense: Macrophages kill any type of pathogens they recognize as not welcome, while the Neutrophile Granulocytes are experts in bacteria killing. Dendritic cells alert the adaptive immuno response system such as T-cells. Cytotoxic T-cells then kill tissue cells infected by pathogens, and so does Natural Killer cells (but does not touch the pathogens themselves). They do not have to be activated first, but are able to find infected/sick cells by themselves, which makes them effective cancer-killers. Also, by killing infected cells they prevent growth and proliferation of more pathogens in the body. Regulatory-T-cells (suppressor cells) and T-Helper cells does not kill pathogens themselves but regulate the rest of the white blood cells.
