This program deals with events when the entire body is under attack-when bacteria or viruses invade the whole system. It shows the roles of the spleen, the lymphatic system, and the white blood cells, and explains the body's production of antibodies. With the common cold as the main example, it demonstrates the sequence from viral attack to recovery.
