Detailed explanation-1: -The immune system helps to maintain homeostasis because it removes pathogens that would otherwise cause disease in the body, which is the opposite of homeostasis. Homeostasis is a stable, internal state within the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organs and tissues of the immune system include the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, tonsils, mucous membranes, and skin. Granulocytes, macrophages, and T lymphocytes are examples of specialized cells. The lymphatic vessels of the immune system carry immune cells, which converge in lymph nodes found throughout the body.
