Your immune system is basically a secret agent movie! Memory cells are the ultimate sleeper agents - once they've helped defeat a pathogen, they retreat to your bone marrow and just... lurk. Silently. For YEARS. These cellular ninjas remember exactly how to fight specific invaders, but they're not out there bragging about it. They're just chilling in your marrow, pretending they don't exist until that same virus or bacteria shows up again, and then BAM! Instant immunity activation! It's like having microscopic bodyguards who spend most of their time in an underground bunker playing cards until the alarm goes off. Your bone marrow: the world's tiniest witness protection program!
