innate
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.
What are 2 types of immunity?
Inate, Passisive and Adaptive.

What is the difference between a specific and a nonspecific immune systems?
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.
