Accepts electrons from cytochrome c, ultimately transferring them to oxygen, forming H2O. in the process, 2 protons are pumped across the membrane. Complex IV is a terminal oxidoreductase, meaning that it transferes the elctrons to the terminal electron acceptor, which, in this case, is O2.
White blood cells called lymphocytes originate in the bone marrow but migrate to parts of the lymphatic system such as the lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus. There are two main types of lymphatic cells, T cells and B cells.
The Immune system is a complex network of cells (such as lymphocytes) and organs that work together to defend the body against foreign substances (antigens) such as bacteria, a virus or tumor cell.When the body discovers such a substance several kinds of cells go into action in what is called an immune response. macrophage is the first cell to recognize and engulf foreign substances (antigens). Macrophages break down these substances and present the smaller proteins to the T lymphocytes. (T cells are programmed to recognize, respond to and remember antigens).
