Abstract

Immunity is the biological defense system that protects the human body from infectious agents and foreign substances. It is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs working together to detect and eliminate pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The immune system not only fights infections but also provides long-term protection through immune memory. This paper discusses the fundamental role of immunity in disease prevention, describing its types, mechanisms, and clinical importance in maintaining human health.
