Why is the innate immune system described as nonspecific?

  • It acts quickly against any pathogen (correct)
  • It lacks anatomical barriers
  • It recognizes specific antigens
  • It doesn't require antibodies for defense

  • Enable them to cause pathogenesis (correct)
  • Aid in expelling microbes
  • Act as a protective barrier
  • Induce a specific immune response

    • Which component plays a critical role as the first line of defense in the immune system?

  • Anatomical barriers (correct)
  • Dendritic cells
  • Macrophages
