Immuuniin

Immuuniin is a Finnish term that translates to "immune" or "immune system" in English. It refers to the complex biological system that protects an organism from disease. This system is composed of various cells, tissues, and organs that work together to identify and destroy pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, as well as abnormal cells like cancer cells. The immune system can be broadly divided into two main branches: the innate immune system, which provides a rapid, non-specific defense, and the adaptive immune system, which is slower but highly specific and develops memory of past exposures. When the immuuniin system functions correctly, it maintains health. However, dysfunctions can lead to conditions like autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, or immunodeficiency disorders, where the immune system is weakened and unable to fight off infections effectively. Understanding the immuuniin system is crucial for developing vaccines and treatments for a wide range of diseases.
