"Cells at Work!" is about cells, organ systems, atoms, molecules, chemistry, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others. The story doesn't have chronological orders because it deals with everything related to cells to the problems they have to deal with.

3. Introduction
The story follows the world of a
human's body which is
represented as cities with roughly
37.2 trillion anthropomorphic cells
who work together endlessly daily
to run their world.
A ditsy red blood cell who is new
to her job, AE3803 and a ruthless
white blood cell who is a part in
the immune system, U-1146 are
featured in the story as
protagonists. As a red blood cell,
AE3803 transports goods such as
oxygen and nutrients. On the
other hand U-1146 patrols the
blood vessels and destroys
threats
7. Chapter 2: Cedar Pollen Allergy
The allergens responsible for the cedar pollen allergy are the
proteins Cry j1 and Cry j2
IgE antibody produced by B cells on the order of Helper T Cells to
combat allergens.
8. Chapter 2: Cedar Pollen Allergy
Histamine is a chemical mediator released by mast cells when they
recognize foreign substance or damage to tissues, in this case cedar
pollen antigen.
9. Chapter 2: Cedar Pollen Allergy
Steroid is medicine that suppresses allergic reactions and various
symptoms triggered by histamines.
By those steroids the allergens disappeared on their own.
10. Chapter 3: Influenza
When influenza viruses
infected human body,
Macrophage (a type of white
blood cell) catch and killed
those influenza viruses.
11. Chapter 3: Influenza
Killer T Cells, white blood cells, effector T cell, and antibody
producing cell together they killed influenza viruses. Influenza made
side effects such as less appetite, fever, and high body temperature.
After a week they succeeded to eradicate the influenza.
12. Chapter 3: Influenza
In other case, influenza viruses could mutating theirself, like Type A
Influenza Virus.
Killer T Cells, white blood cells, effector T cell, and antibody
producing cell overwhelmed and couldn’t kil those mutant virus.
13. Chapter 4: Scrape Wound
White blood will
tied the red blood
up when a wound
happened.
An open wounds
are door to bacteria
and virus that may
affect human
condition.
14. Chapter 4: Scrape Wound
Fibrin, an insoluble protein that is produced in response to bleeding
and is the major component of the blood clot. So it helps to reduce
bacteria and foreign object.
15. Chapter 4: Scrape Wound
The healing of scrape wound could take more than 3 days. when
tissue fluid leaks outside the blood vessel through the wall of cells
and dries, it makes a scab.
16. Chapter 5: Food Poisoning
One of the causation of food poisoning is infection of vibrio
parahaemolyticus, a seawater bacteria that contaminated seafood.
White blood cell killed them when infected human digestive system.
17. Chapter 5: Food Poisoning
Food Poisoning also could
caused by a parasite called
anisakis.
Human can be poisoned by
eating raw fish or seafood
which contaminated by the
parasite anisakis.
18. Chapter 5: Food Poisoning
The healing of food
poisoning made by
eosinophils, type of human
white blood cell and be the
guard towards parasite.
19. Chapter 6: Heat Stress
Human body will continuously secrete the sweat to adjust body
temperature on hot condition.
21. Chapter 6: Heat Stress
Intravenous Rehydration and cooling the body are effective way to
decrease heat stress.
22. Chapter 7: Erythroblasts and Myelocytes
a polychromatic nucleated cell of red bone marrow that synthesizes
hemoglobin and that is an intermediate in the initial stage of red
blood cell formation
23. Chapter 7: Erythroblasts and Myelocytes
A cell that has yet to
differentiate into a white blood
cell (neutrophil, eosinophil, or
basophil). Lives in the bone
marrow.
24. Chapter 8: Cancer Cells (Part I)
Cancer cells are cells
that divide relentlessly,
forming solid tumors or
flooding the blood with
abnormal cells.
Cell division is a normal
process used by the
body for growth and
repair
25. Chapter 9: Cancer Cells (Part II)
The broken wall representing
boundaries of healthy
neighboring cells that
destroyed by cancer cells, so-
called infiltration.
26. Chapter 9: Cancer Cells (Part II)
Cancer cells could multiply,
infiltrate, and metastasized.
Metastasis means that cancer
spreads to a different body
part from where it started.
When this happens, doctors
say the cancer has
“metastasized,
27. Chapter 9: Cancer Cells (Part II)
Cancer cells
release an
enormous
amount of these
chemicals. By
doing so,
nutrient-rich
blood flows
preferentially to
the cancer and
contributes to the
multiplication of
cancer cells.
28. Chapter 9: Cancer Cells (Part II)
Cancer cells are
made when
normal cells
make errors
during cell
division. Even in
the healthy
people,
thousands are
made every day.
29. Chapter 9: Cancer Cells (Part II)
Short hair women as NK
(Natural Killer) cells.
Natural Killer (NK) Cells are
lymphocytes in the same
family as T and B cells,
coming from a common
progenitor. However, as cells
of the innate immune system,
NK cells are classified as
group I Innate Lymphocytes
(ILCs) and respond quickly to
a wide variety of pathological
challenges like cancer cells.
30. Chapter 10: Circulatory System
The young lady as red
blood cell has important
duty, which is transfer O2
or oxygen in human
body’s circulatory system.
31. Chapter 10: Circulatory System
The circulatory system
is made up of blood
vessels that carry
blood away from and
towards the heart.
Arteries carry blood
away from the heart
and veins carry blood
back to the heart. The
circulatory system
carries oxygen,
nutrients, and
hormones to cells, and
removes waste
products, like carbon
dioxide
32. Chapter 11: The Common Cold
Virus will infects health
cells that can cause
cold.
33. Chapter 11: The Common Cold
Some viruses store their genetic information in RNA. So, T Killer
help to eradicate all of viruses.
34. Chapter 12: Acquired Immunity
Vaccination is the
administration of a vaccine to
help acquiring immune.
Vaccines contain a
microorganism or virus in a
weakened, live or killed state, or
proteins or toxins from the
organism.
35. Chapter 12: Acquired Immunity
Acquired immunity is immunity
that acquired after birth by
infection or vaccination
36. Chapter 12: Acquired Immunity
Mumps is an acute, self-limited, systemic viral illness characterized
by the swelling of one or more of the salivary glands, typically the
parotid glands.
37. Chapter 13: Pimple
A pimple is a kind of comedo that results from excess sebum and
dead skin cells getting trapped in the pores of the skin.
38. Chapter 13: Pimple
Causation of pimples are a
common bacterium, its
scientific name is
Propionibacterium acnes. It
dislikes oxygen and likes
sebum.
40. Chapter 14: Staphylococcus Aureus
Bacteria that lives on the skin
and in pores.
Although staphylococcus
aureus usually acts as a
commensal of the human
microbiota it can also become
an opportunistic pathogen,
being a common cause of skin
infections including
abscesses, respiratory
infections such as sinusitis,
and food poisoning
41. Chapter 14: Staphylococcus Aureus
THe name “Staphylococcus
Aureus” meaning “golden
grape cluster” in Latin the
name comes, from the clumps
they form in small groups.
