What are the differences between non-specific (innate) and specific (adaptive) resistance to disease?
What are the differences between non-specific (innate) and specific (adaptive) resistance to disease?
- Innate immunity responds specifically to particular pathogens, while adaptive immunity responds non-specifically to any threat
- Innate immunity is acquired through exposure to pathogens, while adaptive immunity is inherited genetically
- Innate immunity is present at birth and provides immediate defense, while adaptive immunity develops over time and provides long-term protection (correct)
