=Introduction=

Suddenly you see blood gushing down your arm, and like a lion protecting its cub, the white blood cells are there to protect your body, and fight like a lion to get rid of any disease or injury. The white blood cell fights against infections in our body to keep us healthy and safe. But, they can’t do this without any help. The structures of the white blood cells help it do its job. But most importantly, these little tiny cells are one of the most important things in our body to help protect us from infection like cancer or lukemia, and many of those illnesses are being treated today by doctors, white blood cells. It's almost like white blood cells are traveling doctors insi toc de our body, that's always working to fight infections. =Function of a White Blood Cell=

Did you know, that the thing that heals any cuts, infections, or even what gets rid of a virus, is a tiny cell called a white blood cell. Well, one way that it heals things like infections and cuts in your body is, they start off in a tissue called, lymph tissue, Lymph Tissue: This is where your hard working blood cells are, and they travel to the spot in your body where there is something going wrong (“ncbi.nlm.gov”) For example: there could be an infection or a cut that’s starting to bleed, and then comes rushing the white blood cells that are traveling along side with the red blood cells, and the platelets. Those white blood cells would then heal and close that injury. Another way, the white blood cells work is, when they sense that there’s an infection, they react immediately, and race to injured part of the body to heal it (“BrainPop.com”). Lastly, the white blood cells can help heal and injured part of your body is, when it travels with the red blood cells and platelets, they travel to a certain area to heal when needed and then the white blood cells help cure that part of the body (“BrainPop.com”). In addition, white blood cells helps heal parts of the body with one function, and without that important function of the white blood cell, we might not be able to fight off tough infections like the flu, or even certain types of cancer, for example: Leukemia. But what you don’t know about, are the structures that help the white blood cells do its job.

=Structures of a White Blood Cell=

Have you ever wondered what a white blood cell looks like close? Well, up close it looks like a round circle with tiny little crowns/ spikes, that surround the circular object (“Human Biology and Health, Patience-Hall Science”). For example: they kind of look like one of those white spiky balls that dogs play with. Another way of putting what white blood cells look like is, you have every seen one of those spiky light up balls, they look like that, but are much smaller because they are cells (“BrainPOP.com”). Lastly, white blood cells structures help the white blood cells do its job by destroying diseases. The way they do this is, they change their shape because they are a jelly like substance that is flexible enough to fit through tight spaces (“Holt Science and Technology, Human Body Systems and Health”). In addition, the structures of white blood cells are, they look like white spiky balls dogs play with, they look like one of those spiky light up balls, and it looks kind of like jelly with itty bitty spikes.

=How White Blood Cells are Important to the Real World=

This is a picture of a white blood cell, red blood cells, and platelets are traveling to a disease that's trapped inside your body.

If you have ever had a scrape, or if you have been sick, and day by day the pain starts to slowly go away, that is the process of white blood cells in your body trying to heal that sickness or injury. This is important to the real world today because, since there are more dangerous devices being invented, it’s more likely that you will get injured and you will start to bleed, which is where white blood cells help your body (BrainPOP.com). They rush to where your are cut, and they help heal that part of your body. Another way white blood cells are important to the real world is because, they protect our body from infections or illnesses that can be led to even more serious cases. For example, some sort of cancer (Human Biology and Health- Patience Hall and Science). Lastly, white blood cells are important to the real world today because, they play a very important ant role in our body like an actor or actress in an important part of the whole movie. They play an important role in our body because the white blood cells identify any damaged cells, and snatch them away before even more damage is possible. But, in real life there are some serious cases where people can get very sick like, cancer, hiv, leukemia and much more, and while those nurses and doctors are trying to kill that disease, so are the white blood cells, because they will always be there for you no matter what. In addition, white blood cells are important to the real world because, they help protect us from infections that could lead to even more serious cases.

=Conclusion=

White blood cells are like the opponents to our body. As our body and the white blood cells fight against each other, the white blood cells fight off any illnesses that they can sense, and kill them to protect our bodies. Yet, they have a certain way to get to those illnesses. There are certain structures about white blood cells, that makes it possible to get to those places in the body. But in reality, not many people realize the importance of their army serving our body, and getting rid of illnesses that can grow into more serious cases. But, no one is really putting themselves in their shoes, they have to work everyday to fight off infections from our body that we could be responsible for, and until people really understand how hard white blood cells work to protect us, I guess everyone will have a lot more to learn as they grow older and older.
