A state of having sufficient biological defenses to avoid

infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion.

Capability of the body to resist harmful microbes from
entering the body.

This is to certify that Lipi Gehlot and of class

XII B has successfully completed this Biology
project on the topic IMMUNITY prescribed by
Mr. G.S Verma Sir, during academic session
2015-2016 as per the guidelines issues by
Central Board of Secondary Education.

Mucosal Immunity

The mucosal immune system

protects the internal surfaces of
the body

The mucosal immune system

GI tract
Respiratory tract
Urogenital tract
exocrine glands associated
with these organs

In a healthy human adult, this

local immune system contributes
almost 80% of all immunocytes.

These cells are accumulated in,

or in transit between, various
mucosa-associated
lymphoid
tissues (MALT), which together
form the largest mammalian
lymphoid organ system.

Types of MALT:
Depending in the
region it is present

Immunity
conferred by
vaccines

 Positive events of the day seem to have a stronger helpful

impact on immune function. Having a good time on Monday
still had a positive effect on the immune system by
Wednesday.
The frequent hand washing can break down the natural oils
on the skin that serve as the first line (or layer) of defense
for the immune system.
Studies show that people who lack humor in their lives tend
to have less protective immune responses.
While the body needs some sunlight to produce vitamin D,
too much sunshine can suppress the immune system.

To make this project I have taken source from the following

books:1. Ramesh Gupta
2. Biology N.C.E.R.T
I have taken source from internet too, and taken help of our
biology teacher
Mr. G.S Verma.

I would like to thank our Biology sir Mr.G.S

Verma, who provided us this opportunity to
make a project on IMMUNITY which really
helped me to understand the concepts of
Immunity of our body.
