Introduction:

Immunity is referred to as the host's resistance against any foreign antigen, including the microorganisms. Immunity can be acquired or innate.

The lymphoreticular system is responsible for immune response, and it comprises lymphoid and reticuloendothelial components. The lymphoid cells (plasma cells and lymphocytes) are responsible for specific immunity. The phagocytic cells (macrophage and polymorphonuclear cells) that are part of the reticuloendothelial system are majorly concerned with scavenger functions, eliminating microorganisms and other foreign particles from blood and tissues, thus contributing to non-specific immunity.
