📖 1. Immune System Overview

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Immune System: A complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that defend the body against pathogens by recognizing and eliminating foreign invaders while distinguishing them from self-cells.

  • Pathogen: A microorganism such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that causes disease.

  • Antigen: A substance, often a protein or polysaccharide, that triggers an immune response by being recognized as foreign by immune cells.

  • Innate Immunity: The body's immediate, non-specific defense mechanism that responds rapidly to pathogens using physical barriers, chemical defenses, and immune cells like macrophages and natural killer cells.

  • Adaptive Immunity: A specific immune response involving lymphocytes (B and T cells) that develops over time, has memory, and provides long-lasting protection against particular pathogens.

  • Lymphatic System: A network of vessels, lymph nodes, and organs that transports lymph fluid, filters pathogens, and facilitates immune cell activation.
