eli5: What does the body do when it rejects an organ transplant?

In: 6

Answer 1

think of it like this….

your body is an airplane in the air, and all your cells and organs are the people. White blood cells are flight attendants

if you put in a foreign element into it, like an outraged karen, then the passengers are going to alert the flight attendents to the disturbance. They will evaluate and try to address it in a peaceful way, but if they can’t then they will restrain and subdue the karen until they can force them out.
