The branch of biology and medicine that covers the study of immune systems in all organisms is called immunology. The immune responses contribute to the development of many common disorders such as metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s. Immunology has numerous applications in the field of medicine, particularly in organ transplantation, oncology, rheumatology, virology, bacteriology, parasitology, psychiatry, and dermatology. Immune responses contribute to the development of many common disorders not generally viewed as immunologic and they include metabolic, cardiovascular, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Besides, there are direct implications of the immune system in infectious diseases (tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, pneumonia, dysentery) as well. Immunology is given the top most important as it helps in the advancements of biochemistry, biomedicine, and modern medicine.
