Appendix
Right near small intestine & large intestine union immune system organ filter
Trachea

Palentile tonsils
trap and destroy foreign materials

so it can slow down the process
& allow more time for filtration.
Name the 3 lymph node locations
Cervical Nodes - Neck
Axially Nodes - Armpit
Inguinal Nodes - Groin
What are the 2 groups of the immune system?
- Innate Immune Response
