2 Immune System Immune System Purposes and Functions The main activities of the immune system include defense against dangerous chemicals in the body, such as via the skin and digestive system. The human body's immune system may be divided into two distinct functions. Adaptive and inborn. To provide total protection, innate immunity serves as the foundation. Multicellular creatures and single cells alike are safeguarded by it. It depends on a network of damaging sensors known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to recognize danger signals (Rankin, 2018). Antigen-specific responses are sent by the adaptive immune system employing immunological memory, which allows it to expand. Both approaches have varying degrees of interdependency. The immune system's job is to develop antibodies that combat infections that the body comes into contact with. When the immune system is functioning correctly, it isn't easy to detect its existence. A person may get unwell if they cannot fight against pathogens if it fails to work typically (Rankin, 2018). The virus that causes chickenpox in children, for example, may make a person unwell from the moment they come into contact with it. The body would be unable to fight itself against potentially dangerous compounds entering the body or against significant physiological adjustments occurring inside the body if it did not have an immune system. Viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites are among the microorganisms that the immune system is tasked with eliminating, and the body is tasked with defending itself against. To combat disease-causing microbes that alter their structure comparable to cancer cells, the immune system is responsible for identifying and neutralizing dangerous components in the environment (Rankin, 2018)
3 Immune System The Interactions of the Different Systems of the Body An individual's overall health depends on the proper functioning of their immune system. Little police officers are constantly patrolling every organ and tissue in the human body. When it comes to transportation, the immune and circulatory systems work hand-in-hand. The lymphatic system produces lymphocytes. There are trillions of cells in the body, including organs and blood arteries, that work together. A person's organs, cells, and blood arteries work together to keep them alive. The systems are interconnected and reliant on one another to work correctly. You can't make your body's heartbeat unless your nervous system and brain communicate with each other. The digestive system provides nutrients to the skeletal system, resulting in strong and healthy bones. The appropriate functioning of each biological structure is compatible with a wide variety of systems. The vascular system, for example, demonstrates how different bodily parts work together. The heart uses a complex system of blood arteries to draw it from the lungs to transport blood. After that, the blood circulates throughout the body, collecting nutrients from the digestive system. Oxygen is taken up by the lungs and transported to the rest of the body via the blood. The body removes waste from cells, such as carbon dioxide, by transporting it to the lungs and kidneys. The circulatory system distributes hormones from the endocrine system and the cells of the immune system that inhibit the growth of bacteria. To function correctly, the human systems are interdependent. The circulatory system, which relies on oxygen stored in tissues, drives the respiratory system. Muscles and hearts can't work without oxygen supplied by our lungs. Skull and spine bones, together with the brain and spinal cord, are protected by these structures regulated by brain activity. Consequently, blood flow to the brain is sufficient to maintain high blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat, which are commanded by the mind
