The body is made up of a specific defense system and nonspecific defense system. The nonspecific defense system is made up of inflammation, fevers, etc. The immune system is part of the specific defense system. This is because the lysosomes in this system bind to specific antigens and have a certain role to carry out. Therefore, there aren't nonspecific defenses in the immune system.
