What is the difference between specific and nonspecific defense?

Answer 1

Fever

Answer 2

Nonspecific immune response is the first and second line of defense when a foreign object tries to enter or enter the body. This response will attack anything (specific immune response will only attack certain infections) that it comes in contact with.

Parts of nonspecific immune response are: Skin, Mucous membranes, Phagocytic (cells that eat foreign particles) cells, Antimicrobial proteins, and the inflammatory response.

Answer 3

Nonspecific defenses are the ways in which an organism prevents foreign materials from harming them, as opposed to fighting off specific threats. These include an organism's physical and chemical barriers as well as the immune system.

Answer 4

Nonspecific body defenses are the first line of defense against invaders. They are indiscriminate when it comes to destroying or stopping antigens. Examples of nospecific body defenses are: tissues such as the skin which act as a barrier, white blood cells (such as machrophages and neutrophils), as well as soluble molecules which deprive the the pathogens (germs) of nutrients.

Answer 5

The human immune system can be separated into three "lines of defense"

1) Tthe first line includes physical barriers-primarily the skin, and biochemical barriers-mucous, sweat, stomach acids, wax, oil ect. This is considered a non-specific response because the response is not different for different pathogens.

2) The second line includes the inflammatory response, natural killer cells, macrophages, and fever. This level of defense is also considered non-specific.

3) The third line includes the two specific defenses-your humoral or antibody mediated immune response and your cell mediated immune response. In both cases your body is responding to a particular antigen or infectious agent.

Answer 6

Specific defence is an antigen that works specifically on the bug

Non specific, is something that works on any antigen the same every time eg the skin

Answer 7

The nonspecific defenses are the physical and chemical barriers, the inflammatory response, and the interferons.
