The immune system is our personal "army", technically, it's our body's defense against illness and diseases. Even when you cut your finger the immune system is already working for any bacteria or antigen (stuff that are not from our body, in a way to say) get into our bloodstream and cause damage or sickness, cool right? The immune system consist of cells who are pretty specialized; the "white cells" or leukocytes. They are located and stored in different part of the body; the thymus gland, bone marrow and the spleen. They circulate between the lymph nodes and various organs through the blood and lymphatic vessels. Considering all the locations we can say is pretty large because it is literally in all of our body. This video shows how white cells works: they locate the antigen, find it and eliminate, in this way we don't get any sickness that may contain or provoke.
