The Immune System
Your immune system controls your quality of life

There Are Two Major Subsystems of Your Immune System
Innate Immune System
The dominant system of defense. Its defenses are non-specific, responding to pathogens in a generic way and stressed cells send out alarm signals. This system does not confer long-lasting immunity against a pathogen.
Adaptive Immune System
Also referred to as the acquired immune system, is composed of specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens by preventing their growth.
Acquired immunity creates immunological memory after the initial response to a specific pathogen. This leads to an enhanced response to subsequent encounters with that pathogen. This process of acquired immunity is the basis of vaccination.
