Question
**What is Innate Immune Response and How Does It Work? (Detail)** An innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against pathogens. It involves various physical barriers, chemical signals, and immune cells that act quickly to recognize and neutralize threats. This response is non-specific, meaning it targets any foreign invader without adaptation to specific ones. The innate immune system includes components like skin, mucous membranes, white blood cells (such as macrophages and neutrophils), and proteins like cytokines. Together, they work to identify and eliminate pathogens before they can cause significant harm. This section will explore the mechanisms behind the innate immune response and its role in maintaining health.
