What is Immune System Overview and Functions about?
The immune system defends the host against infectious organisms and is triggered by injury. It is divided into innate and adaptive systems that function coordinatively. The innate system recognizes non-self structures like microbial DNA and lipids to trigger responses like inflammation and phagocytosis. The adaptive system distinguishes self from non-self using markers like MHC proteins that present antigen peptides on cell surfaces. Immune cells like macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells, T and B lymphocytes
