Three, four. We are working for you.
Another day of sending 0202 all through
out the body, every nook and cranny felt.
That is confusing. And I'm lost. I'm lost.
Though we may seem hopeless, we are selfless work for you and.
Let's get down to work. Let's get
down to work every day and struggle.
But I gotta pull through. Oh, another day
I'm out here slicing, slicing, filthy germs and viruses.
Show your ugly face won't let them get away.
I'll take some chase Some We are
professionals for cells have worked for you. And so.
Let's get down to work. Let's get down to work.
Every day is a battlefield. You better prepare.
We are only two. Still, I hope the.
So we don't know who you are.
You think we're working hard? All of us together
are supporting you with all of our hearts.
No matter what kind of drives us to risk our life,
we always take pride in what we do, and health comes first.
Are you working? Yes, I'm working. Are
you working? Working. Working for you.
Inside every single human body.
37.2 trillion
cells are working hard every day to maintain a healthy, effective system.
Kept you waiting. Here you go. Fresh
delivery of oxygen ready to use. This is a red blood cell. An
abundance of hemoglobin causes her color.
She circulates the system delivering oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Just need to get a signature here, please.
I appreciate it. Thanks for all the hard work.
Sure. I hope to work for you again. Oh.
What's happening?
Well, now this is a delightfully cozy spot.
My brethren and I could get real comfy here.
It's not too hot, not too cold.
And there's more than enough food to last a life cycle.
How beautiful. I think we'll be right
at home. This world belongs to us.
First of all.
Let's clear out the residents. Too dumb to run.
Are you? Filthy germ. Take that.
Who are these lunatics?
Oh,
it's this white blood cell. Neutrophil Division U1146.
The invading germs have been exterminated.
This is a white blood cell. His
task is to eliminate foreign invading substances such as bacteria and viruses.
Neutrophils make up more than half of the white
blood cells flowing through the body.
Get to it. Don't let a single bacterium escape.
They'll be absolute hell to pay if even one gets away.
Whoa. It's the white blood cells. That was intense.
Yeah, no kidding. He's covered in germ guts.
Talk about brutal. Any over there? Negative.
So those guys are the white blood cells.
Are you? Why are you staring? Is there
something I can do for you? I mean.
Well, I just wanted to thank you for saving my life.
I was in so much danger. It was nothing.
I was only carrying out my job.
I'm sorry. I mean, you're welcome. Oh, right.
And he left hiding in the cracks.
I'm gonna kill every last one of those germs. Oh.
Curses. Wretched white blood cells. I swear
that I will have my revenge.
Geez, what a messed up day. I better
hurry and deliver this to the lungs to make up for lost time.
Okay. Just need to make a right here to get to the lungs.
No. Excuse me. That valve is exit only.
Sorry, I didn't know. I'm still new here.
I really don't know anything. The lungs are that way.
Oh, not again. Where are they? The long.
This must be it. Oh, I'm sorry. This is the spleen, lady.
Poor thing. You must be lost. I am.
I'm sorry. It was a dumb mistake.
Oh, there's no need to worry.
What are you doing? This is the lymphatic duct.
Are you really that stupid? No red blood cells allowed in here.
I'm sorry. It was a blunder. Please forgive.
They're kind of always doing construction around here.
Yeah. The next these maps are to
figure out. Really? You don't say.
Never gonna get to the lungs. Not see the lungs. The lungs.
Oh, no. I'm alone.
Maybe there's someone in here who can help.
Hello. Can I ask you a question
real fast? Excuse me. Is anybody.
Don't just pretend like you didn't see me.
Knock, knock.
Target sighted. Okay. I've got you now, you bastard.
Time to die, you filthy germ.
Well, look who chased me to the far corners of the world.
But there's no way I'm letting you kill me today.
Not good. Is this a capsule? No.
Can't even see the bacterium. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Please stop thrashing around like that.
Yeah. He got away. Thanks for saving
me two times now, huh? Of course I'm sure.
Oh, you're that red blood cell from earlier? Yeah.
What was that? Bacteria. The survivor of the group
that just invaded us. Come on.
This could be real trouble. He's a pneumococcus,
which means I've got to kill him right away.
Otherwise he'll start dividing. If that happens, this world is done for.
Wait. He's a pneumococcus. That's right. There are pathogenic bacteria.
They attack the respiratory system, cause pneumonia and other diseases.
And they're highly toxic capsule wielding germs.
Seriously? That's crazy. I'm headed to the lungs to.
What's up? You know we're in a kidney, right?
Yeah, I'm actually kind of lost.
It's not just the lungs at risk.
The germ did escape into the blood vessels, after all.
Wait, what are you saying? Oh, no way.
Could you please at least untangle me first?
Pneumonia isn't the only disease that can be caused by the pneumococci.
They also incite something called pneumococcal bacteremia.
The pneumococci travel through the blood vessels to attack each organ.
They seize control of the meninges enveloping the brain,
ultimately destroying this world. These guys work fast.
They've been known to take over an
entire body within just 24 hours.
There's a disease that ferocious. Yeah. Our defenses are down.
The body's immune system has been compromised.
Otherwise, it could withstand the attack.
Do you read? 1146 Here. Requesting backup to pursue the invading germ.
We're shorthanded to learn how to get by on your own. Huh?
Got a ping? My receptors are picking him up.
This is good news. He hasn't gotten far.
Is that honestly the best design they
could come up with for that thing?
Did you overhear that bacteria say anything
back there? Maybe where he's headed.
Come to think of it, what was
he even doing in there? We got another ping.
Wait. I caught him looking at a map.
He was trying to find out how to get to the lungs,
so he was as lost as you. Huh? Guess so.
Well, all right, then. The lungs. Understood.
I've got to get there too. No matter how afraid I am.
I have a job to do.
The lungs are this way. Just follow
me since we're headed to the same place. Thanks.
I'm really sorry. Oh, wow. We've got
to move. Better remember the way there,
right? This is a really cool area, though. It is.
Through here. Hey, how's it going? Oh ho! Heave
ho! Why are the platelets here? Oh, my. You're so cute.
What was it you said? They're called platelets. That's right.
Hello. Up there for all your hard parts.
Right back at ya. You too.
Oh, excuse me. I'm really sorry, but we're doing some construction.
The road's closed. We have to get through.
No way we can sneak by. You see,
what happened was there was a bit of trouble,
so construction got delayed. I guess the delivery people.
Have made a real fatal mistake. Now we can unload the cargo.
Hi.
You're so cute. You know, we can help out.
Essay on pneumococcus come through, You know,
genetically creepy? I don't think so.
There's something about this that doesn't make sense. Huh.
Well, this is a little strange. Receptor
shouldn't be acting up like this, so that's not normal.
Do you think it could be broken? It is pretty beat up.
Well, no matter. Not like there's anything particularly strange happening.
Attention. This is a helper T-cell alert.
All cells heed me. A pneumococcus is on
the run within these blood vessels.
We're mobilizing the killer T cell division
with our most elite lymphocyte force on the job.
There's nothing to worry about. Our reputations on the line.
This. I swear we will exterminate all enemy germs.
Commander Helper T-cell, Huh? You have cookie
crumbs all over the side of your mouth. I do. Oh, come on.
Anyway, that's all. Everything's under control, huh? Here they come.
I'll pull the name of the killer t cell division.
You will kill the target on sight.
Any cell that lets him escape gets sent to the spleen.
Yes, sir. Wow. Kind of intense, aren't
they? Yeah, just a little bit.
The killer tees are actually related to white blood cells.
They're called lymphocytes. Anyway, best we get moving. Yeah. Lead the way.
Hey, what's that red blood cell doing here?
She's the one who spotted the pneumococcus.
Really? Well, I got to say, you sure do look relaxed.
Most folks usually panic when they're about to get killed. What?
Actually, I don't think she's relaxed. She just didn't know.
And I guess I'll take this chance to educate her.
You see, pneumococci are alpha hemolytic cells and they desperately crave nutrients.
And after all, it is you red blood cells who transport nutrients.
So that puts you right in their crosshairs.
All I'm saying is maybe you watch your back.
Don't pay any attention to them. They're just trying to scare you.
Come on. You probably won't die.
So these are the lungs, huh? Yep.
Doesn't seem like the place is in chaos.
You think we got here before he did? The pneumococcus, I mean.
All right. This is where we part ways.
You're doing a good job. Oh, well,
thanks a lot for showing me how
to get here and everything. Right. We'll be careful now.
Yep. You do the same. Sure. Thanks again for helping me. Yeah.
Dad. Thanks for your hard work. Gotcha.
You should probably watch where you're going.
So how do I find that bacterium?
My receptors clearly on the Fritz.
Why isn't it?
Do whatever it takes to smoke them out. Yes, sir.
Right. We'll continue our search until the fleeing bacterium is destroyed.
Where could that monster be hiding that sneaky pneumococcus?
Right lung. Left lung.
Nope. Wait. Hold the door. Now, let's see here.
I'm supposed to pass through the capillaries.
That should take me to an alveolus.
Wait. That's one, huh? That's one, too.
What? Nobody said there would be so many casualties.
Well, look who it is, senpai. What are you doing wandering around?
Are you getting the job done? Okay. Oh,
no, please. I need your help. Huh?
Let me take a look. Where are
you supposed to be? Oh, there we are.
Do you see this set of numbers here?
Okay, You just have to match them to whichever door you need.
Oh, that makes so much sense. I know
you'll get it eventually, but don't worry.
You just need to take it slow
and learn step by step. Thank you.
Good luck. I'll see you soon. I'll see you later, senpai.
94. 95. Oh, this is it, huh?
Be courteous and enter. One at a time.
So is this an alveolus? It's pretty quiet.
Hope that pneumococcus isn't around here.
Hello? Aren't you just the best? I never
could have made it here without you.
You will not escape me.
Seriously, how stupid can you possibly be?
You didn't even think about what might be
in that package you were delivering, did you?
And now I'm here in the alveolus.
I couldn't ask for a better place
to lie and wait for red blood cells transporting nutrients.
As for you, I'll treat myself to an appetizer.
Gotta run. Wow. You sure are delivering a ton of nutrients today.
Yep. Just came back from the small intestine.
Sorry. Go away. This one's occupied.
Ooh, girl, do you believe you just saved your friends
so they won't be next in line?
At least you can die knowing you tried your best.
Feel free to call out for help.
I really don't mind. Not that anyone
can actually get in here to rescue
you if you keep on blocking. I'm gonna die here.
Please, Someone help me.
Someone hasn't done their homework.
We white blood cells are made to transmigrate.
That means we have the skill to slip
through blood vessel walls to reach our enemies. Mr. White Blood cell.
How did you know where to find me?
The instant that red blood cell walked
away, my receptor stopped going crazy.
But hey, I've got to give it to you.
I never guessed you were in that box the whole time.
There's no way I'm going to let
myself get killed after I've made it this far.
Please hurry. He said he's going to attack
any red blood cell carrying nutrients. I'm on it.
It looks like it's time to die. It's a germ. Ha.
Watch now. Stay back. Quite the capsule. A capsule like before.
This isn't like the smokescreen he used to escape.
It's a more powerful lattice he can use to shield himself.
I've got no chance against something that's strong in battle.
Where did you say that? The bacteria is right there.
That's a lovely little tip to keep in mind.
It's time for a change of plans
before I begin my all out invasion.
I think I might torture you pathetic self.
My bad. No, we're dead. Listen, my bottle. Forget about.
Get out of here. You can still forget the others.
I've got an idea.
Run down that way. That way. Go. Okay.
Look at you scurrying all over the place.
Nervous about something? White blood cells.
A red blood cell. Step further back. Okay.
You gotta surrender now. Don't you have
any moves left? What a litter.
I watched you single handedly massacre all of my buddies.
I'm gonna make you suffer. I swear
I will tear you limb from limb.
The
bacterium successfully captured bacterium disposal will now commence.
You what? Hey, wait. What's going on?
Don't ask me. I'm over here.
Yeah, I know you can struggle, but you
won't destroy that capsule from within.
But I'll bet you know what happens
in the bronchial tubes, don't you?
Really? This is the strategy you settle on.
Aren't you ashamed using shame tactics like this? Not really.
You liar. Don't you turn your back on me. Pardon me.
I know you can totally hear this.
Turn around. Just real quick. Can I get you something to drink?
Guess I'll have what you're having here. It's tea.
Lovely. Thanks. I appreciate it. Talk about this.
What the. Oh, What is that?
Take a seat and watch with me.
Okay, okay, that's enough. Dolly learned my lesson.
Oh. Oh, no. Where's this thing going? Good question.
Where do you think? Oh, no way.
No. These are the bronchial tubes. Please don't do this.
Another subject sealed.
Three, two. One.
Bye bye bacterium.
You go. Wait. Where are you going?
Well, I've got to get back to work.
Hey, white blood cell. Hold on.
I. I see you again.
No, I mean, there are just so many of us white blood cells.
Yeah. Now that you mention it, there
are probably even more of us red blood cells.
Exactly. But, hey, there's always a chance
we might run into each other. It is a small world.
Until then. Okay. Alert. It's bacteria. They're close. Kill them. Annihilate them.
All right. Try to take it easy, okay. Are you filthy? Erm.
Oh, they are just so.
Isn't this nice and peaceful white blood cell.
I hope it is at least. Next episode of Cells at Work.
Scrape wound. All right. Come on. Cells. Let's get to work.
