Summary
Foreign, non self cells had entered the body. The immune system didn’t know exactly what type or where they came from but it knew what it needed to do. It commanded the leukocytes into action, the neutrophils attached to the walls of blood vessels, the monocytes matured into macrophages, and the lymphocytes sent out antibodies and antitoxins. The immune system had to find the pathogens so that it could determine what the next step was, if the memory cells recognized the antigens it would be easy to destroy them, if they didn’t it would take a lot longer and be a lot harder.
Neutrophils were sent out in large numbers, scouring the body for signs of pathogens.
