Please see . I'd be grateful if someone would post a response there, though much of it may be a matter for this talk page.--] (]) 13:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC) |

:I don't regard any of the concerns to be errors. |

:* With regard to the use of the definite article, this is what our sources use; see for example: Sompayrac L (2019). How '''the''' immune system works. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley-Blackwell. ISBN 978-1-119-54212-4. OCLC 1083261548. (my emphasis). |
|
|
:*As for the use of the word "diseases". The immune system is not only important in "infectious disease" and "damage", among others in plays a role in embryology. I think, for the Lead, it's ok to lack a little precision here. |
|
|
:*It's not really a medical topic; it's biology. |
|
|
:*"The figure legend contains no errors. But an improved legend could be proposed on the article's Talk Page. |
|
|
:*The "other mechanisms that protect us from harm" have nothing at all to do with immunity. We draw the line where our sources do. Again see Sompayrac. |
|
|
:*The article is stable, and has been for years. The improvements and updates that have been made for its second time as TFA, should not be regarded as symptom of instability. |

== Organs == |
|
|
|
|
|
I came to this article looking for information on immune system organs such as lymph nodes and the spleen. I noticed this information is absent. A search of the article turns up "lymph node" one time, and spleen zero times. If you think it fits, consider adding a section or paragraph somewhere listing and describing the immune system organs. This might also be a good candidate for a diagram. Maybe something similar to . –] <small>(])</small> 12:50, 10 May 2021 (UTC) |

== Vitamin D == |
|
|
|
|
|
Why does this article put a sharp focus on Vitamin D? And not on other hormones that regulate immune cells? In the paragraph 'Vitamin D', nothing is explained about how this vitamin mechanistically modulates T-cells, only that T-cells extend calcitriol receptors. To get the relevance across, it might be worthwhile to explain that vitamin D deficiency is associated with autoimmune diseases. ] (]) 16:21, 31 March 2022 (UTC) |
|

:Agree that the previous content was both vague from in vitro research and outdated. I replaced the content and sources with . Discussing vitamin D - even with inconclusive content to reflect the current state of science - seems reasonable, as there is plentiful attention in laboratory research to identify vitamin D effects on immune cells. However, no ] reviews exist to establish a ] relationship between vitamin D and immune function. ] (]) 17:17, 31 March 2022 (UTC) |

There are about 20 claims made with out evidence in the first two paragraphs. |

== Who coined the term? When did it come into popular use? == |
|
|
|
|
|
"Immunity" and "immune" come from the latin "immunis" meaning "free from/exempt from taxes (in Roman times)". |
|
|
|
|
|
The very outset of this article states "immunity is the state of being insusceptible or resistant to a noxious agent or process". "Immune" does not mean "resistant" it means "free from" or "exempt from". There is basically a downwards spiral on wikipedia describing "Immune" "immunity" "immunize" in increasingly weaker terms such as "fortify", "resistant", or "protect". Somewhere it should be explained how there came to be this disconnect in meaning between "immune system" or "immunity" in the medical sense meaning "protect" or "resistant to" rather than "free from" or "exempt from" which is the plain English meaning of "immune". ] (]) 18:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC) |
The following is from my Talk Page:
I am planning to (at least partially) tackle the exercise article, which is in a rather abyssmal state. I noticed the amount of coverage medical sources have regarding the immune system and exercise, and upon glossing over immune system, there weren't any mentions of exercise, physical activity etc., which is very surprising. Wouldn't it be wise to have a section dedicated to the effects of exercise, perhaps below the "Sleep and rest" section? I've found some great systematic reviews on the topic, and a few umbrella reviews mentioning it. I'd be happy to help out with creating such a section. Any thoughts?

While the recently added Sender et al. citation was removed for lack of context, the quantitative estimates of the immune system in that paper warrant brief mention to provide readers intuitive insight. Specifically, the cited paper calculates the human immune system contains approximately 1.8 trillion cells, dwarfing the ~100 billion neurons in the brain nearly 15-fold. Additionally, at an estimated 1.2 kg, the immune system weighs 3-5 times more than an average adult heart (250-350 grams). As these facts illustrate the immune system's considerable magnitude relative to other organs, they impart useful perspective for general readers. Thus a pared down summary contextualizing these cell count and weight comparisons could suitably supplement the article, without diving into excessive detail tangential to the core content.
