Cells of immune system - 10 Immunology Immunology: Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that studies the immune system, its components, how it defends the body against harmful pathogens. Immune System: The immune system is the body's defence system that is a complex network of cells, tissues, organs and molecules that work together to protect against infections, harmful germs and abnormal cells. It has two parts - Innate Immunity and Adaptive Immunity. History - The concept of immunity existed before it was scientifically understood. In 430 BC, during the plague of Athens, Thucydides noted that the survivors of the plague didn't get reinfected by the disease.
