No problem. #1- White blood cells. They are adapted to combat foreign bodies that enter the system, such as viruses and bacteria. #2- The receptor cells in your brain. They are coded to interact with certain chemical compounds in certain ways. This is why people get addicted to different drugs. The receptor cells command the release of pleasure stimulating chemicals within the body. The artificial chemicals (drugs) force an unnaturally large release of the pleasure chemicals.

Stem cells-change to what ever they need to be. They are found in early-developing human embryos and in bone marrow. They take on the job and type of what ever they are near. That is why you always hear of bone-marrow transplants for cancer patients. The stem cells grow into whatever type of cell that the patient is deficcient in.

White blood cells. They’re cells in the blood that fight infection as part of the immune system.
