Immunology is the science that covers the study of the immune system. The immune system protects the body against infection and tumour cells, and has the ability to distinguish from the organism's normal cells and tissues.

The organs of the immune system are found throughout the body and are known as lymphoid organs. These organs are concerned with the growth, development and deployment of lymphocytes/white blood cells (WBC).

Malfunctions of the immune system include:

  • Autoimmune diseases
