Immune System Response

The immune system is your body's defense network, recognizing and fighting off harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and toxins. When these pathogens enter, immune cells identify them as threats and activate an attack, producing specific responses such as antibodies that neutralize or mark the invaders for removal. This response can be quick or develop over time, especially after exposure or vaccination. The immune system also remembers past infections, enabling faster defense if the same pathogen is encountered again. Overall, it works continuously to protect your health by distinguishing between harmless substances and potential dangers.
