Immune System Flashcards
The immune system is one of the more conceptually dense topics students encounter, with layers of defense, cell types, and signaling molecules that all interact. This deck breaks that complexity into pieces: innate versus adaptive immunity, the cells and proteins involved, and how the body recognizes and responds to threats.
Cards also cover inflammation, immune signaling, and the lymphatic organs that support immune function. Each term includes a clinical note on how immune function connects to infection, vaccination, or patient care.
