Working of Immune System

The immune system protects your child's body from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins (chemicals produced by microbes). It is made up of different organs, cells, and proteins that work together. There are two main parts of the immune system:
Facts About Boost Immune System

• The appendix is a thin tube located in the lower right abdomen. The exact function of the appendix within the immune system is unknown, and many people live without it

• Bone marrow is soft, sponge-like material found within the bone and a crucial part of the immune system. It contains immature cells that either divide to form stem cells (progenitor cells that can replenish other cell types as required), or mature into red blood cells (oxygen and carbon dioxide transport cells), white blood cells (which include B cells and T cells), and platelets (blood cells that form clots to stop bleeding).

• Lymph nodes are small glands located throughout the body that filter out viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells, which are then destroyed by specialized white blood cells.

• The skin is the body’s largest organ and serves as a protective barrier that defends against pathogens and toxins. It also possesses its own immune cells and lymphatic vessels.

• The spleen is an organ located to the left of the stomach that filters blood and provides storage for platelets and white blood cells. The spleen is also the site where key immune cells (like B cells) multiply in order to fight invasive, foreign cells.

• The thymus gland is a small gland located in the upper chest, beneath the breastbone. It provides a place for key immune cells (like T cells) to mature into cells that can fight infection and cancer.
