What is immunology?
Immunology is the study of the immune system and how it protects the body from diseases.
What is the immune system?
The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs in the body that works together to defend against harmful pathogens.
What are pathogens?
Pathogens are microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that can cause diseases.
What are antibodies?
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to recognize and neutralize foreign substances, such as pathogens.
What is immunity?
Immunity is the ability of the body to resist and fight off infections and diseases.
What is the role of vaccines?
Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce a response that can protect against specific diseases.
How does the immune system recognize pathogens?
The immune system recognizes pathogens through specific molecules called antigens on the surface of the pathogens.
What are the two main types of immunity?
The two main types of immunity are innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
What is innate immunity?
Innate immunity is the immediate, non-specific defense mechanism that the body has against pathogens.
What is adaptive immunity?
Adaptive immunity is the specific, long-term defense mechanism that the body develops after exposure to specific pathogens.
What is the role of T cells in the immune system?
T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a key role in coordinating the immune response and killing infected cells.
What are the major organs of the immune system?
The major organs of the immune system include the thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils.
What is the difference between active and passive immunity?
Active immunity occurs when the body produces its own immune response, while passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source.
What is an autoimmune disease?
An autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the body's own healthy cells and tissues.
What is the role of immunizations?
Immunizations help prevent the spread of diseases by stimulating the immune system to produce a protective response.
