Immune System
Say: ih-MYOONSIS-tum
Your immune system, which includes white blood cells and lymph nodes, helps protect your body from disease. It has different parts, all of which work together to fight off outside invaders like germs. Every day your immune system does battle to keep you healthy and feeling your best.
