complement proteins.
Phagocytosis
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.
Mucous is an innate immunity, it is a powerful early defense mechanism and highly effective physical barriers against microorganisms. Mucous can be found in respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary tract.
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.
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.
Innate Immunity Innate Immunity is a form of non specific host defense against invading bacteria. It is natural or "innate" to the host, depending, in part, on genetics. Innate defense mechanisms are contitutive to the host, meaning they are continually ready to respond to invasion and do not require a period of time for induction. The most important components of innate immunity are anatomical barriers, intact normal flora, tissue bactericides including complement, and ability to undergo inflammatory and phagocytic responses. Innate immunity provides the first line of defense against invading bacteria. The skin and mucous membranes provide physical and chemical barriers to infection. The normal bacterial flora antagonize colonization of body surfaces by nonindigenous bacteria. The internal tissues invariably contain bactericidal substances. The most noteworthy antibacterial substance is the enzyme lysozyme, which is present in mucus and all bodily tissues and secretions. If these barriers are penetrated, the body contains cells that respond rapidly to the presence of the invader. These cells include macrophages and neutrophils that engulf foreign organisms and kill them. Bacterial invasion is also challenged by the activation of complement in blood and tissues and the incitement of an inflammatory process which has the tendency to focus both the innate and adaptive immune defenses on the site of invasion.
Innate Defense System
There are several ways to interpret the question. For some, the first line of defence is the skin since it acts as an impermeable barrier and also has antibacterial properties due to the acids secreted and normal bacteria fauna on the skin. However, since most pathogens, being capable of causing disease, can inherently overcome the skin defense, the first line of immune defence is the innate immune system that exists in the tissues underlying epithelia (skin or any mucous membranes). The innate immune system has cells that can recognize and destroy pathogens without specificity.
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.
Nonspecific like the skin, mucous membranes, tears, mucus and the inflammatory response... are designed with and acidic surface that, for the most part, repels bacteria and are attributable to factors other than specific antibodies. They are often called innate immunities. Specific immunity has to do with how our lymphocytes (specialized white blood cells, such as B and T Cells) that can remember a specific virus or bacteria, and the next time it shows up, there's a whole welcoming party ready with lots of demolition gear to destroy the unwelcome guests.
there are 3 main component of immunity which helps to maintain the innate immunity. these are- 1. anatomical barrier such as skin, mucosal membrane, conjuntiva 2. physiological barrier such as fever, Ph, oxygen tension etcf. 3. phagocytosis which is performed by W.B.C.
The way in which inherited and acquired immunities differ is in the way the immune system responds to infection. With inherited immunity, the body does not create antibodies that are particular to a specific pathogen unlike acquired immunity.
