Chapter 34, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The actions of the immune system in help an animal to maintain homeostasis.
Concept Introduction:
Immune homeostasis involves the maintenance of internal environment and regulation of the defense against the invading pathogens. The antigen exposure causes the priming of the immune system cells to produce the effector and memory cells which destroy the foreign antigen inside the cells.
