The immune system is integrated body network of specialized tissues,
organs, cells, and cell products and chemicals. The major players in
this system are the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, thymus gland, and
tonsil, specialized white blood cells, antibodies, and interferon. This
systems main function is to defend the body against foreign invaders
that cause infections as well as diseases. Statistical studies show the following:
Though there are gender differences in immune responses which some
scientists believe is hormone related, no conclusive reason has been
established.
Types and Symptoms
There are two types of immunity which are innate and adaptive which
can be further subdivided into two categories into passive which is
short lived and active which is long lasting. Innate immunity is there
at birth and offers the first defense against foreign invaders into the
body. The parts of the body that offer the innate protection are the
skin, hydrochloric acid in the stomach and mucosal secretions. Adaptive immunity on the other hand,
provides the second line of defense. This immunity is acquired later in
life either by vaccinations or successfully fighting an infection. The
immune system remembers the pathogen that attacked it and is then is
able to fight it off if it is attacked by that germ at a later time.
Symptoms of low immunity include frequent
colds and flu and recurring infections.
