Innate defenses - guard against pathogens Adaptive defenses - respond to specific foreign pathogens
Are non- specific body defenses are innate while specific are adaptive?
Innate is a broad general response against any pathogen. It is very quick response but it is limited in how well it can defend your body. It is absolutely necessary to have a functioning innate immunity or your adaptive immunity will not be able to respond efficiently. Adaptive has a very specific response against a pathogen. On first exposure it may time several weeks to acquire the appropriate defenses, however, on secondary exposure it is a very quick response. It has long term memory so you are protected for a long time against that same pathogen.
