Frequently Asked Questions

The immune system is the body’s defense network of cells, tissues, and organs that protects against infections and harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

Innate immunity provides immediate, non-specific defense, while adaptive immunity develops a targeted response using T-cells, B-cells, and antibodies for long-term protection.

Inflammation increases blood flow and immune cell movement to infected or injured areas, helping eliminate pathogens and initiate tissue repair.

Antigen-presenting cells link innate and adaptive immunity by presenting pathogen fragments to T-cells, triggering a specific immune response and antibody production.
