Expert Solution
Step 1

The immune system is an organ system of the body that is functionally responsible for protecting the body from any pathogen or disease-causing microorganisms. The immune system comprises white blood cells that are responsible for generating an immune response against pathogens. The first line of defense by the immune system is known as the innate immune response. In this type of response, the immune system generates a non-specific response towards any pathogen and this response gets activated by the chemical properties of the antigen.
