Immune system
- It's a complex network
of cells and proteins that
defends the body against
infection.
- Abnormalities of the Immune
system can lead to allergic
diseases, inmunodeficiencies and
autoimmune disorders
- Keeps a record of every germ (microbe) it
has ever defeated, in types of white blood
cells (B- and T-lymphocytes) so it can
recognize and destroy it quickly if it enters
the body again.
- Parts of the immune
system
- White blood
cells
- White blood cells are make in the bone marrow and are part of
the lymphatic system, they move through the blood and tissue
throughout the body looking for foreign invaders such as bacteria,
viruses, parasites and fungi and when they do, they launch an
immune attack, it include lymphocytes such as B-cells, T-cells and
natural killer cells among others.

- Antibodies
- They help the body to fight microbes or the toxins
(poisons) they produce, by recognizing substances
called antigens on the surface of the microbe or in
the chemicals they produce, which mark the microbe
or toxin as being foreign, then antibodies mark these
antigens for destruction, there are many cells,
proteins and chemicals involved in this attack

- Complement
system
- It's made up of proteins whose actions complement the work done by antibodies, that
enhances (complements) the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear
microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promote inflammation, and attack the
pathogen's cell membrane. It is part of the innate immune system, which is not
adaptable and does not change during an individual's lifetime

- Lymphatic
system
- It’s a network of delicate tubes throughout the
body and his mains roles are to manage the
fluid levels in the body, react to bacteria, deal
with cancer cells, deal with cell products that
otherwise in disease or disorders, absorbs some
of the fats in our diet from the intestine.
- The lymphatic system is made up of lymph
nodes, lymph vessels and white blood cells.

- Bone
marrow
- It's the spongy tissue found inside of our
bones that produces red blood cells to
carry oxygen throughout the body, the white
blood cells we use to fight infection, and the
platelets we need to help our body clot.

- Spleen
- It's a blood-filtering organ that removes microbes and
destroys old or damaged red blood cells. It also
makes disease-fighting components of the immune
system (including antibodies and lymphocytes)

- Thymus
- It's a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune
system. Within the thymus, thymus cell lymphocytes or T
cells mature. T cells are critical to the adaptive immune
system, where the body adapts specifically to foreign
invaders. The thymus is located in the upper front part of
the chest, in the anterior superior mediastinum, behind the
sternum, and in front of the heart. It is made up of two
lobes, each consisting of a central medulla and an outer
cortex, surrounded by a capsule.

- White blood
cells
- The body other defenses against microbes
- Skin.- is a waterproof barrier that
secretes oil with bacteria-killing
properties
- Lungs.- mucous in the lungs (phlegm) traps
foreign particles, and the cilia wave the
mucous upwards so it can be coughed up.
- Digestive tract.- The mucous lining
contains Antibodies, and the acid in the
stomach can kill most microbes.
- Other defenses.- Body fluids like skin oil, saliva
and tears contain anti-bacterial enzymes that can
help reduce the risk of infection.
