Function:
The function of the immune system is to protect the body from germs and viruses by going around the body and fighting against germs.
Organs:
The immune system is not made up of organs but of tiny little cells going around and defending the body from viruses, diseases, etc.
Interactions with Other Systems:
The immune works with the circulatory system to help them get to where they need to go and they also work with the lymphatic system for the production of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes have different functions which allow them to respond to foreign invaders, some work alone but some can communicate with other cells.
Analogy:
The immune system is like malware protector because malware is like a virus to a computer and the malware protector finds and gets rid of viruses, spyware, malware, etc. And your body does the same thing just in the body not in a computer, it protects from germs, viruses, diseases, etc.
Structure and Function:
The skin is one of the most important parts of the immune system because it is more likely for sickness to reach your skin first rather than you inhaling the sickness because most of the other entry points to the body are blocked off by the skin. When germs, illnesses, viruses, etc touch the skin the immune system has compounds and cells that work to kill any bacteria that touches the skin, and you can help them by washing your hands because most germs you come in contact with are from touching stuff. The skin's shape is critical to cover the body to protect it so germs, diseases, virus, etc. Because it is more dangerous if sicknesses get in then they reach the skin which then cells and compounds work to rid of the sicknesses so the skin is the main line of defense for when sicknesses reach the skin. But the immune system does its best to rid of invaders in the body if they get pass the skin.
