Defence system of the body:-
- The defence system of the body is the ability to defend itself against disease-causing organisms.
- Everyday our body comes in contact with several pathogens, but only a few results into diseases.
- That's because our body has the ability to release antibodies against these pathogens and protects the body against disease.
- This defence mechanism is called immunity.
- There are two major types of immunity:
- Innate Immunity or Natural or Non-specific Immunity.
- Acquired Immunity or Adaptive Immunity.
Extra info (you can include if you wanna)
Innate Immunity
- This type of immunity is present in an organism by birth.
- This is activated immediately when the pathogen attacks and includes certain barriers and defence mechanisms that keep foreign particles out of the body.
- It is a long-term immunity in which our body produces the antibodies on its own.
Acquired Immunity
- This type of immunity isn't present by birth.
- The ability of the immune system is to adapt itself to disease and to generate pathogen-specific immunity.
- Once a body gets used to these pathogens, antibodies are ready to attack them for the second time and are known as naturally acquired immunity.
Hope this helps!!
