How to Take Care of Our Immune System

#The Immune System - Introduction

During flu season, viruses and colds, the topic of immune system remains important and relevant. The truth is that it does remarkable work protecting humans from all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms, toxins, fungi, viruses, and infections.

#What is the Immune System?

The immune system is an extremely complex combination of various organs, cells and proteins working in sync.

It's what protects us from bacteria, viruses, toxins and other dangerous pathogenic microorganisms.

We usually take it for granted until we get sick.

#What Does the Immune System Consist Of?

The immune system consists of special organs, cells and chemicals that fight infections (microbes).

The main parts of the immune system are: white blood cells, antibodies, complement system, lymphatic system, spleen, thymus and bone marrow. These are the parts of your immune system that actively fight infection.

This vast network of cells and tissues is constantly on alert for invaders, and once the enemy is spotted, a complex attack is mounted. Dead and defective cells are also recognized and cleared by the immune system.

If the immune system encounters a pathogen, such as bacteria, virus or parasite, it triggers what's called an immune response.
