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.
The cells you are referring to are called natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system by identifying and eliminating cancerous cells and virus-infected cells in the body. They are part of the body's innate immune response.
CD8 T cells kill infected cells by releasing proteins called perforins and granzymes. Perforins create pores in the infected cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and trigger cell death. This process helps eliminate the infected cell and stop the spread of the infection.
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 produce cytokines, such as interferons and interleukins, that help enhance the immune response against virus-infected cells. They also release cytotoxic substances, like perforin and granzyme, which can directly kill infected cells. Additionally, T cells can activate other immune cells, like macrophages, to help eliminate virus-infected cells.
White blood cells
Cells infected with a pathogen can be killed by the immune system through mechanisms such as releasing toxic chemicals, inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis), or activating immune cells like T cells and natural killer cells to target and 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
they are in our bodies to attack and kill infected cells!
-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.)
Cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells by releasing toxic substances that puncture the cell membrane, triggering cell death.
Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+ T cells) are responsible for directly killing virus-infected body cells and some tumor cells by releasing cytotoxic molecules like perforin and granzymes. They recognize infected or abnormal cells by recognizing antigens presented on the cell surface.
