What else can I help you with?
Contrast the first line of defense with the main line of defense?
In the immune system, the first line of defense are mechanical and physical barriers, such as the skin and the cornea of the eye. The main line of defense, meanwhile, are the innate immunity and acquired immunity of an organism.
What is part of your body's specific immunity defense?
antibodies
Nina has the flu and a high fever. Her immune system is exhibiting the line of defense. This defense is part of immunity.?

Which defense mechanism is considered a specific category of immunity?
The defense mechanism considered a specific category of immunity is the adaptive immune system. This system recognizes and remembers specific pathogens to mount a targeted and long-lasting defense response. It includes T and B lymphocytes that work together to generate immunity to specific antigens.
What are 2 types of immunity?
The two types of immunity are innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense and includes physical barriers like skin, as well as immune cells that respond to general threats. Adaptive immunity is more specific and involves the production of antibodies and immune memory to target particular pathogens.
The resistance of an organism to disease is known as?
The medical term for disease resistance is immunity.
Is immunity a specific body defense mechanism?
yes because it defend/protect us from the diseases
In what type of immunity will the defense be triggered and react in the same manner regardless of the organism invading?

What are four types of immunity?
The four types of immunity are innate immunity, adaptive immunity, passive immunity, and active immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense, providing immediate but non-specific protection against pathogens. Adaptive immunity develops over time and involves a specific response to pathogens, including the production of antibodies. Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from one individual to another, such as from mother to child, while active immunity refers to the immune system's response to a vaccine or infection, leading to long-lasting immunity.
What body's continuing immune response and defense against pathogens it has seen before is known?
Active immunity
What is the difference between innate immunity and adaptive immunity?
Innate is non-specific. It includes the first and second lines of defense. The first line of defense contains the skin, mucus membranes, and normal micro-biota. The second line contains the complement system, phagocytosis, fever, and inflammation.Adaptive is specific. It includes the third line of defense. The third line of defense contains B cells, which make antibodies, and T cells, which kill the target pathogen, and encourages phagocytosis.There is a huge difference between innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is one that is triggered as soon an antigen gets into the body. As for the adaptive, its has to be specific and will allow be introduced once the antigen is recognized.
What is an example of an immunity?
Examples of innate immunity include anatomical barriers, mechanical removal, bacterial antagonism, pattern-recognition receptors, antigen-nonspecific defense chemicals, the complement pathways, phagocytosis, inflammation, and fever.
