It happens as our body do not have anti-bodies [ means the copy of the virus to make a trap for it ], but in bacterial it is done just by destroying as the bacteria do not conquer a tissue or a cell to make their army.

What are the main differences between an inflammatory response and an immune response?
The immune response is how your body recognizes and defends itself against bacteria, viruses, and substances that appear foreign and harmful.The inflammatory response (inflammation) occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause.
What system gets rid of bacteria and viruses?
The organs of the immune system fight viruses and bacteria.
How does immune systems immflamatory response stop external factors from damaging the body?
The inflammatory response destroys any bacteria or viruses entering the body before they can infect cells.
What types of microbes do adaptive immune responses combat?
The adaptive immune system was developed in higher vertebrates to combat pathogens and antigens. These can include viruses, bacteria, and anything else that can cause the immune system to launch an immune response.
What is the immune response to viruses?
white blood cells
What is the system that helps fight bacteria and viruses called?
AnswerLymphatic System. I sure hope it is because if its not am going to get an F on my homework!! :(
Specific immunological response?
adaptive immune response
What is the immune systems job in the body?
It protects the body from viruses and bacteria.
What is a dead or altered viruses or bacteria that are used to stimulate the body to be on alert are called?
Dead or altered viruses or bacteria that are used to stimulate the body's immune response are called vaccines. Vaccines contain weakened or inactivated forms of the pathogen, or certain proteins or subunits of the pathogen, to trigger an immune response without causing the disease. This allows the body to recognize and fight the pathogen more effectively if encountered in the future.
Specific immune response?
the bodies immune system tells the white blood cells to attack enemy bacteria (etc.) as the first response to the immune system's defense
What stimulates the body to produce chemicals that destrou viruses and bacteria?
immune system
What is the useful purpose of a fever?
The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of pyrogens (heat generating proteins) by an inexperienced immune system.
