Perhaps no single part of the human body is as critical to our survival as the immune system, and no other components has had nearly as much nonsense published in the popular press. The immune system is made up of the cells, organs, and chemicals that fight infections. The main players are intestinal bacteria, white blood cells, antibodies, and the lymphatic system. We will survey each of these with an eye toward how vaccines, disease, and nutrition do and do not influence the immune response. No science background necessary since this lecture will be a quick overview rather than an in-depth class on this most complex of systems.
