The innate and acquired immune systems work collectively to produce antibodies that protect the body from foreign invaders. Organs and systems that are involved in this process include the lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, adenoids, respiratory system, and the gut among various others (Johns Hopkins Medicine, 2020). When the immune system is not functioning properly the immune system can either initiate an immune response too slowly, initiate an immune response too quickly, or fail to initiate an immune response altogether.
