The PATHOphysiology of immunity or the physiology of it? Because PATHOphysiology refers to disease or injury whereas physiology is normal functions. Our immune system's physiology is definitely essential to our body's functions. PATHOphys of immunity makes me think autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiencies.
