This flashcard defines the mucosal immune system. It highlights its role in protecting internal mucosal surfaces (gut, respiratory, urogenital tracts) which are primary entry points for pathogens.
Il sistema immunitario che protegge le superfici mucose interne, come le mucose dell'intestino, del tratto respiratorio e del tratto urogenitale, che sono il sito di ingresso per quasi tutti i patogeni e altri antigeni. È noto come sistema immunitario mucosale.
