Immunology is a vital field within biomedical science dedicated to studying the intricate workings of the immune system. Comprising a complex network of cells, tissues, and molecules, the immune system serves to protect the body from pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and fungi, as well as to recognize and eliminate abnormal cells and maintain overall health. This system is characterized by its dual arms: innate immunity, providing rapid, nonspecific responses, and adaptive immunity, which tailors its reactions to specific threats through the production of antibodies and specialized immune cells. Immunology delves into the mechanisms of immune response, including the roles of various white blood cells, cytokines, and antibodies in defending against infections and maintaining immune balance.
