Adaptive_And_Innate_Immunity

Adaptive And Innate Immunity Adaptive and Innate Immunity A pathogen is a disease causing agent which includes a vast amount of microorganisms: viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms, and parasites. Antigens are agents which stimulate an immune response. Most antigens are pathogens which stimulate a strong immune response. The purpose of the innate immunity system is to keep away all pathogens. After, the pathogen makes an appearance in the body, the innate system of defense acts very rapidly. The major point in dealing with the innate system of defense is that it is nonspecific. Therefore, it will approach any pathogen it comes into contact with. The innate systems of defense are very helpful yet we overlook them quite often. The skin is probably the best innate line of defense. It excludes most pathogens from entering the body. Cilia in mucous membranes help sweep out airborne pathogens and dust.
