The body’s defense against various microorganisms that cause disease and illness is the immune system. The immune system attacks these disease causing organisms through a sequence of steps referred to as immune response. The immune system is composed of a number of cells, tissues and organs that work in association, attack the disease causing microorganisms and protect the human body. The cells of the immune system are the leukocytes or the white blood cells. Lymphatic system consisting of the lymphoid organs like lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen are also part of the immune system.
