Why You Are Still Alive: The Immune System Explained In A Cartoon

Don't Be Scared, It's Just Your Immune System

Despite its ominous title, the immune system primer "Why You Are Still Alive" takes a friendly tone in describing how an army of cells mobilizes when a rusty nail cuts the skin.

"Isn't this complexity just awesome?" the narrator marvels. Kurzgesagt's animated basics won't make you an expert, but perhaps some of you will know a little more than you did before after watching.

While you're at it, why not make a mini film festival out of immune system cartoons? Get out the popcorn and watch those antibodies go to work.
