Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The immune system can be defined as the organs and body processes that resist the infection and toxins. This system includes the organs such as bone marrow, thymus, and lymph nodes. Lymphocytes are of two types: B cells and T cells. B cells play a role in cellular immunity. T cells help in the antibody/humoral immunity. These exist throughout the body.

The body’s immune response comprises innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Virulence is the capacity of a pathogen to cause disease
BOTH statements are FALSE
BOTH statements are TRUE
FIRST statement is FALSE; SECOND statement is TRUE
FIRST statement is TRUE; SECOND statement is FALSE
Lymphocytes that develop immunocompetence in the thymus are __________lymphocytes.
We put everything in our mouth since our childhood. Therefore our mouth is full of live bacteria. These bacteria are potentially dangerous if they cross our gut wall into our blood circulation. Fortunately we are protected from them by our gut's mucosal lining and the cells (macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T lymphocytes) in the lymphoid tissue called [a] (enter two words). This structure play a crucial role for the development of food tolerance or food [b] (enter one word), coeliac disease and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Some immune systems fail to work effectively so the person is less protected than others. This type of disease or medically induced condition is called ___.
atelectasis
anergy
protein deficiency
immunosuppression
