sistema inmunitario; sistema inmune; sistema inmunológico: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recomienda llamar "sistema inmunitario" y no "sistema inmunológico" al sistema que tienen los seres vivos para protegerse de enfermedades y sustancias extrañas. [Asimismo aclara que] inmunológico es lo relacionado con la ciencia de la inmunología, como tal disciplina, mientras que para lo relacionado con la inmunidad la palabra más apropiada es inmunitario. [...] Aunque en propiedad "inmune" se aplica a los organismos resistentes a ciertas enfermedades, las Academias ya aceptan, por su amplio uso, "sistema inmune" como sinónimo de "sistema inmunitario". 2, record 1, Spanish, - sistema%20inmunitario
