The difference between innate immunity and adaptive immunity is that     adaptive immunity attacks pathogens; innate immunity attacks microbes.     innate immunity is fast and generalized; adaptive immunity is slow and specific.     adaptive immunity releases cytokines; innate immunity produces antibodies.     innate immunity targets cancers and transplants; adaptive immunity targets viruses and bacteria.

Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.
