What systems relate to the immune systems?
In truth, every single part your body is connected with your immune system. However, the Lymphatic system, which is widely (but not always) included in the Immune System, work the closest with it. The Cardiovascular System works to circulate the white blood cells, B-cells, T-cells, antibodies, etc. Your Integumentary System, or your skin and various membranes, provide the ever-important "first line of defense." By secreting mucus, sebum, and other substances, the Integumentary System effectively kills of harmful bacteria living your skin and traps microorganisms that are trying their best to get in. The gastric juices in your stomach also kill most bacteria and other living organisms.

They odds were so very against him and he has had no rejection issues. Our friend who only has 4 common antibodies (as opposed to my sons 86) has been waiting for lungs for 4 months. today they thought they had a donor only to find out that the donor had one of his four antigens. so since he wasnt in critical condition and at a good placement on the waiting list, they decided not to use these organs and wait. they didnt want to risk any problems with rejection.
