How does a cell defend the body?

The cell can defend the body by eliminating the invading pathogens and consequent recovery from illness.The cells that do this are the white blood cells, the Leukocytes. This leaves the blood streams, transform into macrophages and devour substances. You can refer this to a Patrol Officer because it checks everything and  when they see something that doesn’t seem ok, they stop and check them. Other cells that do this are the Neutrophils, they sacrifice their lives, they also swarm and gather intelligence. Another cell that  helps  are  Lymphocytes, they are secret agents meaning that they spy on invaders. They also expose them and leave an opening for T cells. The helper T cells send signals to B cells and they cause B cells to go into overdrive. There are also T cells, they are like special forces, they also use the key attached by B cells and they are attacked the invaders.

How do police forces defend cities?

A body cam is used like officers use body cams.

Cities police forces are not well trained. A piece of evidence is that police forces are receiving military weapons and vehicles. For instance, the government restrained the militarization of the police. Also, police officers cannot be trusted at all times. According to the article, “Within a year, the number of complaints filed against police officers in Rialto fell by 88 percent and ‘use of force’ fell by 59 percent. ‘When you put a camera on a police officer, they tend to behave a little better, follow the rules a little better,’” This means that if policemen are being watched 12 hours straight, preventing them from disobeying the law and to use the force. In addition, it is beneficial to have many police officers patrolling, but if you don’t have enough police officers then… Like the city of Camden, murders, robberies, rapes, burglary, begin to happen. Camden is ranked most dangerous in the US.

What can a city learn from a cell about how to defend properly?

It is clear that the city can learn how to properly defend itself from a cell. To build on this idea, cities could learn how to communicate better with other governments and cities like cells interact with other types of cells in order to defeat the evil virus or bacteria. Another lesson from the cell that a city can learn from is that the more police officers there are patrolling, the less crimes missed and more things caught. Doing this would be very beneficial to the city because residents won’t need to stress or worry too much and stress can lead to health issues as well. In addition, cities should not only patrolling but have secret spies in which they gather information to find and catch the person.
