ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The main job of the innate immune system is to fight harmful substances and germs that enter the body, for instance through the skin or digestive system. The adaptive (specific) immune system makes antibodies and uses them to specifically fight certain germs that the body has previously come into contact with.

Detailed explanation-2: -The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader. These antibodies are developed by cells called B lymphocytes after the body has been exposed to the invader. The antibodies stay in your child’s body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The immune system is the body’s defense against infections. The immune (ih-MYOON) system attacks germs and helps keep us healthy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Whether, at any one time, your immune system is detecting and neutralising harmful substances, tackling changes in the body that pose a risk of disease, or simply defending you against those potentially perilous bacteria and viruses without you even knowing, there can be no doubt it is constantly doing vital work.
