Sri K.
The responsibility of the immune system is to protect our bodies from harmful substances and pathogens that enter the body. It has a remarkable way of adapting to the constantly evolving structure of cells and bodily functions. To do so, one of the roles of the immune system is to recognize the presence of pathogens. Another role of the immune system is to interact with all of the tissues and organs of the body and to distinguish the body's own cells from those of invaders. The immune system cells may be involved in the general immune response or are capable of targeting specific types of pathogens.
