INTRODUCTION

O ur immune system protects us from germs. Our body is constantly attacked by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, and our only defense against them is our immune system. Therefore to protect ourselves is to support our immune system. And thats exactly what this book is about!

You will find out how the immune works and how you can make it stronger, how you can prevent diseases, discover what food is best or worst for your immune system and what vitamins and minerals are essential for its proper work.

CHAPTER 1. All About Your Immune System

What is the Immune System?

The immune system is a large network of cells, tissues, and organs that function together to protect our body from foreign body attacks. These invaders are microbes microscopic, infection-causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. The human body provides an ideal environment for many microbes to survive, so of course they want to invade it. The immune system keeps them out, but when it doesnt work correctly or fails, the immune system starts to seek them out and destroy them.

The immune system is able to recognize and remember the countless intruders and produces cells and secretions that can defeat each of them so our body is safe again.

It works so effectively thanks to a dynamic communication network. In our body, there are millions of cells that move all around the body, passing information from one point to another. When they receive an alarm, the cells start to produce an effective weapon its strong and powerful chemicals. The cells can also regulate their behavior and growth that makes them very adaptive to different conditions.

We wouldnt be able to fight a huge variety of microorganisms or harmful changes inside the body without our immune system. Its main tasks are:

fight and remove disease-causing pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.

defeat disease-causing changes in the body.

As long as the immune system is running properly, you wont feel that its there. But if it stops working smoothly because it can't fight some aggressive pathogens or its weak, you will get sick.

How the Immune System Works

The immune system is necessary for human survival. Without it, our body is fully open to attack from bacteria, viruses, parasites, and more. This massive network of cells and tissues is continually on the alert for threats, and if an intruder is detected, a dynamic assault is set up.

The immune system is distributed across the body and includes several kinds of cells, muscles, enzymes, and tissue. Damaged cells are also detected and destroyed by the immune system.

The immune systems work is expansive and consists of many parts.

White blood cells

Another name for white blood cells is leukocytes. These cells circulate in lymphatic tissue and blood vessels that parallel the arteries and veins.

Leukocytes are always on regular monitoring for pathogens. Once they reach a target, they begin to replicate and transmit signals to other cell types to do the same thing.

White blood cells are located in lymphoid organs. These include the thymus, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. There are two main types of leukocyte:

1. Phagocytes

These cells cover and consume toxins and break them down and destroy them efficiently. There are several types of phagocytes:

neutrophils the most common type that attack bacteria

monocytes the largest type that has several functions

macrophages monitor pathogens and remove dying and dead cells

mast cells protect from pathogens and help to heal wounds

2. Lymphocytes

Theses cells help the body identify former threats that have again entered the body. Lymphocytes are produced by the bone marrow. Part of them stays in the marrow to develop into B lymphocytes (alert T lymphocytes and produce antibodies), and another part goes to the thymus to transform in T lymphocytes (alert other leukocytes and destroys damaged cells in the body). These two types have different roles:

Main Parts of Immune System

The immune system organs are called lymphoid organs because they produce lymphocytes.

Bone marrow is the soft tissue at the deep core of the bones. It is the highly reproductive source of all blood cells, including white blood cells that become immune cells.

The thymus is located behind the breastbone; it is the place where T lymphocytes mature.

Blood vessels serve as one of the main routes for lymphocytes to travel throughout the body. Another route through the system is lymphatic vessels that parallel veins and arteries. Blood and lymphatic vessels are exchanged between cells and fluids, allowing the last one to control invading microbes in the body. Also, the lymphatic vessels carry a clear fluid, or lymph, that bathes tissues of the body.

Small lymph nodes are situated along the lymphatic vessels, with clusters in the armpits, abdomen, neck, and groin. Every lymph node is loaded with compartments where immune cells congregate and identify the antigens.

Peyer's patches are the structural units of gut-associated lymphoid tissue which are responsible for endocytosis and transport into intraepithelial spaces.

The spleen is located in the upper left of the abdomen. It contains specialized compartments where immune cells gather and work, and serves as a meeting ground when immune defenses face antigens.

Clumps of lymphoid tissue can be found in the airways and lungs, the linings of the digestive tract territories that function as gateways to the body. These tissues include the adenoids, tonsils, and appendix.
