Lymphoid Organs: Specialized tissues where immune cells develop and mature.
Lymphocytes: White blood cells central to adaptive immunity, including T cells (cell-mediated immunity), B cells (antibody production), and natural killer (NK) cells (innate-like cytotoxicity).
Phagocytes: Cells that engulf and digest pathogens and debris; key types include macrophages and neutrophils.
Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs): Cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages that process antigens and present them to T cells via MHC molecules, initiating adaptive responses.
Hematopoiesis: The process of blood cell formation in the bone marrow, producing all immune cell lineages.
Immune Surveillance: The immune system's continuous monitoring for abnormal cells or pathogens to maintain health and prevent disease.
