    Glossary Immune Function

    body's defense mechanism against harmful pathogens and foreign substances

    Immune function refers to the body's ability to recognize and defend itself against harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. It involves a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs, including white blood cells and the lymphatic system, which work together to identify and neutralize threats. For professionals, it encompasses both innate and adaptive immune responses, ensuring both immediate and long-term protection.
