Immunity

Definition of Immunity

Immunity is the ability of the organism to resist and combat the action of pathogens, such as harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites, thus preventing the onset of diseases.

This immune response can be innate, meaning present from birth, or acquired throughout life through exposure to infectious agents.

Immunity is based on the ability of the immune system to recognize, attack, and eliminate pathogens or invading enemies, thus protecting the organism from potential damage and diseases.
