The Immune System

The Immune System

The  immune system is the system that protects the body from  biological germs and viruses.                                           

 In order for your immune system to function properly, it needs to sense a big selection of agents, known as white blood cells to  parasites and fight the different bacteria and viruses in our body.

 The Mucus Membranes

The Mucus Membranes are used to make the mucus in your nose. And the mucus that the mucus membranes make is used to protect your body from Viruses and microbes. How it 

Works are that when microbes or viruses entre from your nose, they get stuck in the mucus and the mucus in a short time hardens.

Tonsils

The Tonsils help the immune system by stopping germs to continue into the esophagus. Inside the Tonsils, there is a lot of white blood cells and antibodies to kill the germs.

Lymphatic Vessels

The Lymphatic Vessels are a really important part of the immune system. The Lymphatic Vessels bring lymph fluid who contains antibodies and white blood cells to the part of the body where they need them.

Lymph Nodes

 The lymph nodes are used to filter Harmful Bacteria and cancerous cells. And it helps your body with infections. Finally, it has a big role in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Thymus 

The Thymus is used to make T cells. does T cells are used to produce white blood cells.

Skin

The Skin is used to stop bacteria and viruses and to stop infections from happening. And the skin has substances that are used to fight germs.

Spleen

The Spleen plays multiple roles in the human body. It acts as a germ filter for red blood cells. Our Platelets and White Blood Cells are stored in the Spleen. And the Spleen helps fight certain types of bacteria. 

Bone Marrow

The Bone Marrow is used to make red and white blood cells, platelets, and Lymphocytes.

In some species and humans there are two important subsystems which are the flowing;innate immune system and  adaptive immune system How the innate immune system works; this subsystem works and protects your body from viruses before it spreads and infects your body.

The immune system works with the circulatory system.

It works closely with this system to transport needs to the lymphatic system.

Analogy:

The immune system is like a security camera in a bank that catches a robber

. catches Viruses and germs

. catches robbers like the immune system catches diseases .
