Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Innate immunity refers to the non-specific defense mechanisms that work generically against any foreign substance entering the host. This includes physical barriers (e.g. skin and mucous membranes), chemical defenses (e.g. stomach acid and enzymes), and various cells of the immune system (e.g. natural killer cells and phagocytes). Specific immunity, on the other hand, refers to the defense mechanisms that target specific pathogens and involve the production of antibodies and immune memory. Irregular immunity and immune metabolism are not commonly used terms in immunology.
