To continue our discussion on the immune system, in this episode, we will cover the second type of immune system – the adaptive immune system.

We start with covering some vocabulary that you’ll need to know to understand the immune system, then we move into the cells that make up the adaptive immune system. Then we break down the two branches of the adaptive immune system - humoral immunity including the discussion of B cells and cell-mediated immunity highlighting T cells.

Don’t miss our previous episode on the other type of immune system, the innate immune system.
