• innate immune system

• adaptive immune system

This type of immunity can be called nonspecific and refers to the bodies defenses that are present since birth.

• resistance

• adaptive immunity

• acquired immunity

This type of immunity is acquired during one's lifetime. It is induced by antigens that invade the body.

• innate immunity

• adaptive immunity

• nonspecific immunity

• normal microbiota

Which type of immunity has memory?

• innate
• adaptive/acquired

What is the function of innate immune response?

• Act very rapid as a first line of defense to eliminate the infection
• Trap microbes so they cannot spread in our body freely
• Coordinate and support adaptive immunity
