Question

Which part pf our bodies is responsible for immunity?

Answer 1

White blood cells support out immunity. Whenever we get sick and go to the Dr. they might do a blood test, which checks for the abundance of White cells, this over abundance means that the body is attempting to kill a microorganism.

Answer 2

The T cells are one thing responsible for our immunity.

They are produced in the Thymus and are a special type of white blood cell (lymphocytes). There are various types of T cells which all play a major role in the immune system and warding off infection.

However, if you want more information go to wikipedia.

Sorry if I was not of much help!!!

Answer 3

Directly, our white blood cells, I suppose. There are different types of white blood cell that perform certain jobs - some will 'lock on' to (and therefore 'stop') invading bodies, for example, while others will come and engulf the invading bodies and destroy them.

...I don't know how technical a response you need, though!
