IMMUNE RESPONSE
The reaction of the cells and fluids of the body to the presence of a substance that is not recognized as a constituent of the body itself.
Define
AUTOIMMUNITY
Autoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own cells and tissues.
Edema
A condition characterized by an excess of watery fluid collecting in the cavities or tissues of the body.
*Fluid imbalance = too much fluid leaving capillaries or too little being absorbed into lymphatic system

MEMORY
Bodys ability to recall previously encountered pathogens by recognizing non-self antigens, thus provoking immune response
