Study Notes
Innate Immunity Components
- Adaptive immunity is NOT a component of innate immunity
Characteristics of Immunity
- Innate immunity is characterized by its fast response and lack of memory
Innate Immunity Characteristics
- Innate immunity is a non-specific defense mechanism that provides immediate protection against infection
Role of Innate Immunity
- Innate immunity plays a role in stimulating adaptive immunity by recognizing and responding to pathogens, which activates the adaptive immune response
Anatomical and Physical Mechanisms
- Anatomical barriers (e.g. skin, mucous membranes) and physical mechanisms (e.g. temperature, pH) are components of innate immunity that prevent entry of pathogens into the body
