Definition of immune system in English English dictionary

The system that differentiates self from non-self and protects the body from foreign substances and pathogenic organisms by producing an immune response. It includes organs such as the thymus, the spleen and lymph nodes; tissue such as bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils; cells such as lymphocytes including the B cells and T cells, and cell products such as antibodies

The immune system is a collection of cells and proteins that works to protect the body from potentially harmful, infectious microorganisms (microscopic life-forms), such as bacteria, viruses and fungi The immune system plays a role in the control of cancer and other diseases, but also is the culprit in the phenomena of allergies, hypersensitivity and the rejection of transplanted organs, tissues and medical implants

The body's natural defence system It includes organs (such as the spleen and appendix), lymph nodes (including the 'glands' in the neck) and specialist white blood cells called lymphocytes The immune system protects the body from infections, foreign bodies and cancer To prevent rejection of a transplant kidney, it is necessary for patients to take immuno-suppressant drugs

The body's main defence system against infections or foreign substances

system which forms antibodies and works against foreign bodies that attack the body

The body's very complex system (made of many organs and cells), which defends the body against infection, disease, and foreign substances

A complex system in our bodies that is responsible for protecting us against infections and foreign substances

A complex system in the body which fights disease by recognizing bacteria and viruses as foreign and developing a defense against them (the immune response) Vaccines protect against disease by stimulating the immune system to produce this immune response

the body system that defends against disease, infection, and foreign substances

Your immune system consists of all the organs and processes in your body which protect you from illness and infection. The integrated body system of organs, tissues, cells, and cell products such as antibodies that differentiates self from nonself and neutralizes potentially pathogenic organisms or substances. the system by which your body protects itself against disease. Cells, cell products, organs, and structures of the body involved in the detection and destruction of foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Immunity is based on the system's ability to launch a defense against such invaders. For the system to function properly, it must be able to distinguish between the material of its own body (self) and material that originates outside of it (nonself). Failure to make this distinction can result in autoimmune diseases. An exaggerated or inappropriate response by the immune system to nonharmful substances (e.g., pollen, animal dander) can result in allergies. The system's principal cells include lymphocytes that recognize antigens and related accessory cells (such as phagocytic macrophages, which engulf and destroy foreign material). Lymphocytes arise in the bone marrow from stem cells, with T lymphocytes (T cells) migrating to the thymus to mature and B lymphocytes (B cells) maturing in the bone marrow. Mature lymphocytes enter the bloodstream, and many become lodged, along with accessory cells, in various body tissues, including the spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, and intestinal lining. Organs or tissues containing such concentrations are termed lymphoid. Within these organs and tissues the lymphocytes are confined within a delicate network of connective tissue that channels them so they come into contact with antigens. T cells and B cells can mature and multiply further in lymphoid tissue when suitably stimulated. Fluid (lymph) draining from lymphoid tissues is conveyed to the blood through lymphatic vessels. Lymph nodes distributed along these vessels filter the lymph, exposing macrophages and lymphocytes contained within to any antigen present. The spleen plays a similar role, sampling the blood for the presence of antigens. The capability of lymphocytes to pass between lymphoid tissue, the blood, and lymph is an important element in the system's functioning. See also immunodeficiency; immunology

A complex organization of organs, tissues, cells, and natural chemicals that normally protects the body from infections, diseases, and foreign substances by attacking the invaders or the abnormal cells

a complex network of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that defends the body against attacks by disease-causing microbes

a collection of cells and proteins that works to protect the body from potentially harmful, infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi

The cells and proteins in the body that respond to infection and fight it off

the body's defense system that protects against foreign invaders (e g , microorganisms) and cancerous cells Some immune defenses are nonspecific (e g , phagocytosis) Defenses against specific antigens are of 2 types: cell-mediated (TH1) and humoral (antibody-based, or TH2) Organs of the immune system include the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils and bone marrow

n The body system, made up of many organs and cells, that defends the body against infection, disease and foreign substances The term describes the interacting combination of all the body's ways of recognizing cells, tissues, objects and organisms that are not part of itself, and initiating the immune response to fight them Click here for more information about the immune system

a system (including the thymus and bone marrow and lymphoid tissues) that protects the body from foreign substances and pathogenic organisms by producing the immune response

the body's defense system that protects against foreign invaders (e g , microorganisms) and cancerous cells There are 2 branches: cell-mediated (Th1) and humoral (antibody-based or Th2) Organs of the immune system include the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils and bone marrow

The bodyâs defense system against invasion by foreign bodies such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and malignant cells

The complex system (network of specialized cells and organs) in the body responsible for fighting disease Its primary function is to identify foreign substances in the body (bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites) and develop a defense against them This defense is known as the immune response It involves production of protein molecules called antibodies to eliminate foreign organisms that invade the body

The complex group of cells and organs that defends the body against infection and disease

The system protecting the body from infectious and foreign substances It works with antibodies from B cells and T cells Includes lymph nodes, lymph tissue, spleen, thymus, stem cells, and white blood cells

Cellular and molecular components having the primary function of distinguishing self from non-self and defense against foreign organisms or substances The primary cellular components are lymphocytes and macrophages, and the primary molecular components are antibodies and lymphokines (From Dorland, 27th ed)

plural form of immune system

Innate immune system

(Tıp, İlaç) The innate immune system comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host from infection by other organisms, in a non-specific manner. This means that the cells of the innate system recognize, and respond to, pathogens in a generic way, but unlike the adaptive immune system, it does not confer long-lasting or protective immunity to the host. Innate immune systems provide immediate defense against infection, and are found in all classes of plant and animal life
