The immune system is generally split into two branches the innate and adaptive immune systems. The innate side, which responds quickly to tissue injury and infection, is made up of proteins found in the blood and cells. These cells are nuetrophils, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. Recent work has also shown that other cells types not normally thought of as being "immune cells" such as epithelial cells have important immune functions.
The cells of the adaptive immune response are those that respond to infections much later and are responsible for protection from repeated infections. These include T cells and B cells. These cells will be turned on by the innate immune system, then divide and attack whatever they are specific for.

What white blood cell types are involved in the second line of defence?
The immune system's third line of defense is called specific resistance or acquired immunity. The system depends on antigens which are mostly proteins which function as a producer of the immune response.
What life function is the immune system responsible for?
Simply put, fighting infection, or cell abnormality
What body system does the immune cell belong to?
It belongs to the immune system.
What are the Function of glycoprotein?
Glycoproteins are proteins that are released in the blood. Glycoproteins have an important role in the immune system and cell recognition in mammals.
What system does the t cell belong to?
the t cell belongs to the immune system.
What type of cell do HIV attack in the immune system?
HIV attacks Acquired Immune system.
How does the body protect itself from infections?
Using its Immune system which consists of many parts and cell types aimed at fighting infections.
What protects your body from infectious diseases?
You have the immune system to protect you from the infectious diseases. You have two types of immunity. Cell mediated and humeral type.
Which cell functions as a part of the immune system?
An epidermal dendritic cell.
What organelle function do aids affect?
HIV virus invades the cell membrane and attacks the CD4 receptors which are basically your immune system and it uses them as a placeholder counteracting the job of the immune system. When it is no longer able to fight back then it is diagnosed as AIDS
Where is cell cycle refer too?
from the immune system
Which cell activate the immune system?
T cells
