FullscriptParts of the body it affects
Explore what each area does and the conditions that can affect it.
Blood & immune system
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients, and white blood cells defend you from infection. In autoimmune disease, that defense system targets your own tissues.
Pancreas
Your pancreas makes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon, which keep blood sugar steady.
