Chapter 37.2, Problem 2CYL
Summary Introduction
To name:
The major components of the innate immune response, and describe how each of them combats invasion by microbes.
Introduction:
The body uses defense mechanism to resist the infection against the pathogens present in the external environment. Defense system involves innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is present in an organism since birth and adaptive immunity is acquired after exposure to the pathogen.
