The immune system is responsible for defending the body against diseases. It is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to identify and destroy harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. When the immune system detects an invader, it mounts a response to eliminate the threat and protect the body from further infection. This includes producing antibodies, activating immune cells, and coordinating inflammatory responses. Without a properly functioning immune system, the body would be highly susceptible to infections and diseases.Rate this question:
