Are non specific defence mechanisms more effective than specific defense mechanisms if so why?

Non specific defense mechanisms are more effective because they work against all bacteria and viruses. Examples are skin or tears. Specific defense mechanisms like antibodies work against one type of bacteria or virus. They're needed if a pathogen gets past the nonspecific defense mechanisms.


What cells are involved in specific defense?

Cells involved in specific defense include B and T lymphocytes. B cells produce antibodies that can recognize specific pathogens, while T cells can directly kill infected cells or coordinate immune responses. These cells are crucial for mounting a targeted and effective immune response against pathogens.


What are grandular cells?

There might be a typo in your question. Assuming you meant "granular cells," these are specialized cells found in various tissues throughout the body, known for their granular appearance under a microscope due to the presence of granules or vesicles in their cytoplasm. Granular cells can have specific functions depending on the tissue they are found in, such as immune defense, hormone secretion, or enzyme production.


What is a nonspecific defense reaction to tissue damage caused by injury or infection is known as?

Inflammation is a nonspecific defense reaction to tissue damage caused by injury or infection. It involves the body's immune response to fight off pathogens, clear away damaged cells, and promote tissue repair.


What are the first 3 lines of defense?

The first line of defense is physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, which prevent pathogens from entering the body. The second line of defense includes immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages, which attack pathogens that breach the first line. The third line of defense is the adaptive immune response, involving T and B cells that target specific pathogens and create immunological memory.

Thus, the specific defense system is known as a functional system, as opposed to an organ system.

What are the nonspecific in the immune system?

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.


The bodys most specific defense mechanism is the what?

The body's most specific defense mechanism is the adaptive immune system, which includes T cells and B cells. These cells can recognize and target specific pathogens based on their unique antigens, providing a tailored response to each invader.


Is inflammation a type of non specific defense specific defense acquired defense or all of the above?

It is a non-specific Immune response as it does not change based on interaction with a pathogen and will activate regardless whether the pathogen in question has been encountered previously. Commonly referred to as being part of the "Second Line of Defence".
