Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The immune system is a complex network of organs, cells and proteins that defends the body against infection, whilst protecting the body’s own cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system and lymph nodes (small bean-shaped organs clustered in the neck, armpits, abdomen and groin) act as filters and trap harmful germs. If immune cells in the lymph node recognize pieces of a germ, they will activate, replicate and leave the lymph node in search of those harmful germs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The immune system protects the body from possibly harmful substances by recognizing and responding to antigens. Antigens are substances (usually proteins) on the surface of cells, viruses, fungi, or bacteria.
