Solution
The complement system is the system that causes the lysis of invading cells and helps trigger inflammation. This system is a part of the immune system that enhances (complements) the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promotes inflammation, and attacks the pathogen's cell membrane. It is named for its ability to "complement" the anti-body response to infection.
