Under the humanimmune systemunderstands the body's defense mechanisms. They protect it from dangerouspathogensandtoxic influencesand support theHealing of woundsand injuries. A distinction is made between the so-calledinnate and learned immune system. With the innate defense system, such as theskinWe are born with the sneezing reflex, coughing, and stomach acid, whereas the learned defense mechanisms only develop upon repeated contact with pathogens such as germs or viruses. In doing so, our immune system creates a kind of "memory" that recognizes which antibodies have already been produced. Over the course of our lives, the immune system must fight many defensive battles. The healthy body distinguishes between"bad" microorganismssuch as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites and"good" microbesHowimportant intestinal bacteria.
