 Operating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commercially-supplied operating systems are present on virtually all modern devices described as computers, from personal computers to mainframes, as well as mobile computers such as PDAs and mobile phones.
Mainframe operating systems, such as IBM's z/OS, and embedded operating systems such as VxWorks, eCos, and PalmOS, are usually unrelated to Unix and Windows, except Windows CE, Windows NT Embedded 4.0 and Windows XP Embedded which are related to Windows and several *BSDs, QNX and Linux distributions tailored for the requirements of an embedded system.
An operating system is a special computer program that manages the relationship between application software, the wide variety of hardware that makes up a computer system, and the user of the system.

 Immune System
The blood and lymph systems are intertwined throughout the body and they are responsible for transporting the agents of the immune system.
Parts of the immune system are antigen-specific (they recognize and act against particular antigens), systemic (not confined to the initial infection site, but work throughout the body), and have memory (recognize and mount an even stronger attack to the same antigen the next time).
In the ABO blood typing system, when an A antigen is present (in a person of blood type A), the body produces an anti-B antibody, and similarly for a B antigen.
