D

Disintegrating cell membrane


When a foreign body enters our body, certain chemicals known as antibodies are released by B lymphocytes. These antibodies specifically act against antigens and destroy them in three different ways. They are as follows.

* Neutralises the toxins released by the antigen.
* Disintegrates the cell membrane of the bacteria.
*Stimulates other white blood cells (WBCs) to destroy the pathogens.
