Innate - cell-mediated immunity, rapid responses (because cells see bad guys and just shoot them), generally consistent over an individual's life time, regardless of pathogenic exposures. Usually works based on your cells recognising general "toll-like receptors", which is just another way of saying that they see a name tag saying "bad guy", but it doesn't say many details, like "bank robber" or "assasin", so your body deals with them but is less equipped to deal with them compared to the adaptive response.
Adaptive - antibody-mediated, slow responses (because cells see bad guys and have to run off to tell their supervisors, who then have to fill in paperwork before just setting up orange cones all around the bad guys, indicating to other cells that YES, there IS in fact a bad guy there). Very specific - one antibody for one specific receptor (every cell has hundreds, at least), and they only stick to that one, flagging it for destruction by the same cells that would have otherwise obliterated it anyway. But neon signs are always helpful for making things noticed. Anyway, the adaptive immune system changes as you come into contact with more pathogens, because your body makes antibody-producing cells, and they hang around so if you see that pathogen again, they can skip some of the paperwork and speed up the process.

Which types of T cells are a critical component of the immune system because it stimulates and enhances the activity of other components of the immune system?
T -helper cells
Why is the immune system hard to destroy?
There are two reasons why: 1) It changes the DNA and 2) It affects the immune system.
What is the difference between immune system and auto immune system?
Well, lets start with the basics, your immune system is what keeps you from getting colds and flu's easily. so your auto-immune system (protection) automatically defends your body against these types of attacks, where anti-immune are the things trying to attack your immune system (Virus).
What are the 2 organs of the immune system?

AIDS most directly affects the immune system.
What are the two immunodeficiency diseases?
The 2 main types of immune system disorders are Allergies and Asthma. Other types of disorders are autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid Arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Can a virus destroy the immune system?
HIV targets CD4+ cells in your immune system, and uses them for factories of reporduction. The CD4+ lymphocyte is the most potent killer in your immune system. By killing off these CD4+ cells, HIV can effectively render your immune system useless and leave you susceptible to many different types of infections that can be fatal.
Which system in the body does HIV damage?
Acquired Immune System or Adaptive immune System
Which disease is possibly caused by an immune system malfunction resulting in joint pain and inflammation?
Arthritis is possibly caused by an immune system malfunction resulting in joint pain and inflammation. There are different types of arthritis and not all are thought to have this cause. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the types.
