The immune system is an exceedingly complex system of specialized cells that defends the body from infectious disease-causing organisms. Bone marrow, the lymphatic system, the thymus in the breastbone, the liver and the spleen all share a major responsibility in resisting disease. Bone marrow is either red or yellow.
