Inflammation/Infecti
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Innate Immunity | native or natural, quick response, In all animals Non-specific: responds to all pathogens the same way Kills the invaders without identifying them Includes the natural barriers and the inflammatory response |
| Adaptive Immunity | acquired or specific, Slower response , In vertebrates only Specific: responds to different antigens specifically (Antibodies) Has to recognize the specific invader first before attacking it Includes humoral immunity and cell mediated immunity |
| 5 signs of inflammation | 1- Heat 2.Redness 3- Swelling 4- Pain 5- Loss of Function |
| inflammatory response is | 2nd line of defense |
| Adaptive immunity | 3rd line of defense |
