Osmosis Jones

How is the movie OSMOSIS JONES like your immune system?
- the animated film Osmosis Jones will find entertaining. However, the conversion of the immune system in a simple bacteria-busting COP is really an understatement. It would be better if antibody were treated as heroes (or heroines), because they constantly fight bacteria, viruses and micro-organisms to ensure that all systems of the body functioning at its peak. Without your healthy white blood cells, there is a chance that even the simple cold virus can be murder.

Similarities
-Osmosis Jones is like the blood cells in our body.  When viruses/ diseases come in, white blood cells are the ones that come to fend them off.
-The brain; or "mayor of the city" is the control system which alert the entire body. Their T.v. network is like your nerves that send signals to the entire body and tells it what is happening, it informs the cells to take action and kill the virus.
-The movie shows how the body takes action when something is detected in the body. when the egg was eaten or the oyster, the body tried to get rid of it by its defense. in this case, it was vomit and saliva came to get rid of the germs from the egg.
-All the parts of the body in the movie have the same functions as ones in real life


Differences 
-It is different because i don't think there would a city where the people; "cells" have their own personalities because cells do what they are assigned to. Also, i think the fact that there is only one virus is different.
-The situations in the movie are different from those in our real lives because our immune system cells are not shaped like humans, and neither are the rest of our cells
-There are no bacteria in our body holding parties and conferences, and our immune systems do not shoot down invaders
-It is highly unlikely that a cold pill will be able to fight off a deadly virus
