Chapter 14.L2, Problem 10CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
- The multiple and overlapping functions of the immune system.
- The names and functions of tissues and organs involved in immune response.
Introduction:
The immune system of the body comprises of several players that act in a concerted manner to protect the body from any external agent that may cause harm. There are many players in this system that form a network of cells, tissues and organs.
