What is the immune system?
Your immune system is a large network of organs, white blood cells, proteins and chemicals. These parts all work together to protect you from germs and other invaders. Your immune system also helps your body heal from infections and injuries.

What does the immune system do
Your immune system works hard to keep you healthy. It does this by:
- Keeping invaders (like germs) out of your body.
- Destroying invaders.
- Limiting how much harm the invaders can do if they’re inside your body.
- Healing damage to your body.
- Adapting to new challenges and threats.
