What else can I help you with?
What does it mean to have nonspecific innate immunity?
The cells of the innate system recognize and respond to the pathogens in a specific generic way.
What nervous system structure is specific to vertebrates versus invertebrates?
A back-bone
What is the difference between the specific and nonspecific immune response?
Immunity provides protection against specific foreign antigens, displays memory, and it requires distinction between self and non self antigen.
What is the opposite of nonspecific?
Specific!
What is the antonym of the word specific?
Nonspecific.
Which of the two types of immunity requires white blood cells?
Adaptive immunity requires white blood cells. These cells, including T cells and B cells, play a key role in recognizing and attacking specific pathogens to provide a targeted response to infections. Innate immunity, on the other hand, provides immediate, nonspecific defense mechanisms against a wide range of pathogens but does not require white blood cells for its function.
The process of phagocytosis is an integral part of both specific and nonspecific immune defense activities?
Phagocytosis is a process where immune cells engulf and digest foreign particles, such as bacteria or viruses, to eliminate them from the body. It is a part of the nonspecific immune response, carried out primarily by macrophages and neutrophils. In the context of specific immunity, phagocytosis plays a role in presenting antigens to lymphocytes to initiate a more targeted immune response.
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.
What characteristics do vertebrates and invertebrates share?
Vertebrates and invertebrates are both classified as animals and share the characteristic of multicellularity. They both have specialized tissues and organs that perform specific functions. Additionally, they both exhibit growth and development processes throughout their life cycles.
What type of immunity produces antibodies?
specific immunity
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.
What is an example of immunuty?
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.
