Infected cells are typically referred to as host cells that have been invaded by a virus, bacteria, or other microorganism.
Cheek cells belong to the kingdom Animalia. The cheek cells are considered to be eukaryotic. Bacteria cells belong to the kingdom Eubacteria.
The stinging cells of cnidarians, called cnidocytes, are located on specialized structures called nematocysts. These nematocysts are found on the tentacles of cnidarians and are used for defense and capturing prey.
The process by which red blood cells are produced is called erythropoiesis. It occurs in the bone marrow and is regulated by the hormone erythropoietin, which stimulates the production of red blood cells from stem cells. Erythropoiesis is essential for maintaining a stable supply of red blood cells in the body to carry oxygen to tissues.

The adult human brain typically contains around 86 billion nerve cells, or neurons. Additionally, the brain contains other types of cells called glial cells, which may outnumber neurons by up to 10 to 1. Overall, the brain is composed of a vast network of cells that work together to control bodily functions and processes.
White blood cells that directly destroy virus-infected and cancerous cells are called?
T Cytotoxic Cells destroy infected body cells by making holes in the cell membranes using proteins called perforins. This allows water to rush into the cells, causing it to burst. They are actually called Killer T cells.
T cells recognize these proteins and produce certain substances (cytokines) that destroy the infected cells.

Infected CD4 T-cells
the cold virus attaches itself to the lining of the nasal passages and sinuses. This causes the infected cells to release a chemical called histamine. Histamine increases the blood flow to the infected cells, causing swelling, congestion
-White blood cells White blood cells are like policemen in bloodstream. They are constantly on patrol for infected cells. (Yes; they usually eat them -aka kill them.)
they are in our bodies to attack and kill infected cells!
Interferons are messenger molecules secreted by virus-infected cells to notify cells in the vicinity of a viral invasion.
