Excessively enlarged spleen caused by irregular reactions from the immune system after being exposed to malaria parasites.

Substance used for the eradication of insects.
Memory Cells (Immune System)
![Picture](/uploads/1/7/5/2/17524325/6019551.jpg)
Known as B cells inside the immune system. B cells are called memory cells as they remember a certain pathogen of a virus at first exposure then are able to detect the same virus once it occurs again, only this time the immune system can create antibodies to destroy the virus.
