Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of memory cells in the immune system?
  • Step 1: Understand that the immune system protects the body from infections.
  • Step 2: Learn that when the body encounters a germ (like a virus or bacteria), it creates special cells to fight it.
  • Step 3: Know that some of these cells become memory cells after the infection is cleared.
  • Step 4: Realize that memory cells stay in the body for a long time, sometimes for years.
  • Step 5: When the same germ tries to infect the body again, memory cells recognize it quickly.
  • Step 6: Because memory cells remember the germ, they help the immune system respond faster and stronger than the first time.
