Chapter 29, Problem 3MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Many organisms attack other organisms and cause infectious diseases. These are known as pathogens. However, the body contains a well-defined organ system that fights with the pathogen. This protective organ system is termed as the immune system. Inflammation is a type of response generated by the immune system. This response prevents the further invasion of pathogens on infected body parts.
