The goal of my video is to describe how the immune system will respond to Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. I cover the biology of the immune system and the alveolus. I go in depth into the molecular battle against viral infection. I describe and animate the initial infection of sars-cov-2. I then describe the classes of leukocytes. The video explains what each leukocyte is responsible for during this type of viral infection. The animation follows describing a fun and engaging illustration of the immune response. I describe the innate immune response which includes; granulocytes and phagocytes. The video includes the two functions of the adaptive immune response and how the body is affected by this. I talk about apoptosis/pyroptosis in respect to regulated/accidental cell death. The video ends with how the alveolus recovers from a virus like Sars-CoV-2. The video also includes a brief segment on where the virus originated.
