How does the body know which cells to attack?
The body's immune system is able to distinguish between self and non-self cells through various mechanisms. One such mechanism is the presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of cells, which helps the immune system recognize self-cells. Non-self cells, such as infected or cancerous cells, may display abnormal proteins or antigens that are recognized as foreign by the immune system, prompting an immune response to attack and eliminate them.
What is the importance of the immune system?

The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?

Why insulin is so vital for normal survival?

Is diabetes an immune system?
It's not an 'immune system'. As for an 'immune system disorder', which I'm sure is what you must have meant, it depends on the TYPE of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes - autoimmune disease (body attacks the pancreas cells that produce insulin, so they lack the insulin to tell muscles to absorb glucose from the blood stream). They have high glucose levels but low insulin levels. Type 2 diabetes - the pancreas cells are fine, and are spurting out insulin left, right and centre. The problem is that the muscle cells are just tired of insulin's crap, and don't want to listen any more (there are less RECEPTORS to ACKNOWLEDGE that the insulin is there, so it's like it isn't even there!). They have high glucose AND high insulin levels.
Which cells in the immune system identify pathogens and distinguish one pathogen from another?
B cells and Helper T cells

What are autommunie diseases?
Autoimmune refers to diseases of the immune system. They typically involve the immune system not being able to distinguish healthy tissue from unhealthy or invading tissue. So it could be said that in autoimmune diseases the immune system starts to think that certain parts of the body are no longer needed so it attacks and tries to destroy them.
Which animal has the worst immune system?

Is there a surgery for type 2 diabetes to temporarily stop the need of insulin?
I know there is a procedure available for type 1 diabetes that works for 2-3 years (animal transplant that eventually gets rejected by the human immune system) but does it work with type 2 diabetes?
