Immune System Chapter 43
2
Introduction to the Immune System An animal must defend itself against unwelcome intruders. An animal must defend itself against unwelcome intruders. It must also deal with abnormal body cells, which, in some cases, may develop into cancer. It must also deal with abnormal body cells, which, in some cases, may develop into cancer. Two major kinds of defense have evolved to counter such threats. Two major kinds of defense have evolved to counter such threats. Innate Defenses Innate Defenses Acquired Defenses Acquired Defenses
