Immune system: a diffuse, complex network of interacting cells, cell
products and cell forming tissues that protects the body from
pathogens & other foregin substances, destroys infected Umalignant cells & removes cellular debris.
include
tasks: 1. defense response 2. removal of dead tissues/cells 3.repair Shealing 4. immunological memory
5. Communication between man lymph - 2 biological fluid for immune cells.

Immunity: the balanced state of multicellular organisms having adequate biological defenses to fight infection, disease/unwanted
biological invasion, while having adequate tolerance to avoid allergy & autoimmune diseases.
passive defense: ph, skin, small peptides, soluble molecules (enzymes)

Immunopharmacology: part of pharmacology that deals with drugs acting
on the immune system, pharmacological actions of
substances derived from the immune system.
Biologics: genetically engineered proteins derived
- from human genes, designed to
inhibit specific component of the immune system.
Immunotherapies: therapies that enlist & strengthen the power of
patient's immune system.

so-abacteria may thrive from phagocyte.
NBT: a test to assesses phagocytic functions. (ablue score,better the cell
producing reactive O2 species)
Hematocrit (Hct): Ratio of the Votred blood cells to v of whole blood normal range: man -> 43-50% women wa 37-43%
Red cell count (RBC) erythrocyte count; not red blood cells in of blood normal range:4.2-59 million cells/mm.
White blood cell count (WBC) leukocyte count in of white blood cells in of blood. normal range: 4300010000 cells/crm
-sentinels: fixed/sentinal position in the tissue (eg: mast cells, g/x+ cells, macrophages)
