The Immune System It’s Complicated

The Immune System

Immune System The immune system is the body's defence against infectious organisms and other invaders. The immune system is made up of a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body.

Primary Immune Deficiency Part of the body’s immune system is missing or functions improperly. An increased susceptibility to infection
