Chapter 29, Problem 4MCQ
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. The immune system is divided into two major categories called innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
