Our Amazing Human Body: ...

I think that the Immune System is so interesting for all the processes that occur just to keep us healthy, the way how everything happens, all reactions call me much attention.
The immune system is our body's defense system against infections and diseases. Organs, tissues, cells, and cell products work together to respond to dangerous organisms (like viruses or bacteria) and substances that may enter the body from the environment. There are three types of response systems in the immune system: the anatomic response, the inflammatory response, and the immune response; for all of these things it is that I find so                                                           interesting.
When you have an autoimmune disorder, your immune system does not distinguish between healthy tissue and antigens. As a result, the body sets off a reaction that destroys normal tissues.
An autoimmune disorder may result in: The destruction of body tissue; Abnormal growth of an organ and Changes in organ function
One of that is the Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the glands that produce tears and saliva are destroyed. This causes dry mouth and dry eyes. The condition may affect other parts of the body, including the kidneys and lungs.
