What is Immunity?

Immunity is the capability of multicellular organisms to resist harmful microorganisms. Immunity involves both specific and nonspecific components. The nonspecific components act as barriers or eliminators of a wide range of pathogens irrespective of their antigenic make-up

What are common diseases of the immune system?

1. Type 1 Diabetes. The immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. 

2. Rheumatoid arthritis. This type of arthritis causes swelling and deformities of the joints. 

3.Lupus. This disease that attacks body tissues, including the lungs, kidneys, and skin

Does your immune system get better with age?

Immunity — your body’s defense system — tends to get weaker with age. “Just as you probably can’t run as fast as you used to in your 20s, your immune system doesn’t work as well as it used to,” says Aaron E.
