innate immunity
Innate immunity, also known as natural or non-specific immunity, is the body's immediate and first line of defense against pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins. It is a set of immune responses that are genetically determined and present at birth, functioning without prior contact with pathogenic microorganisms. This immunity involves physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, cellular defenses such as white blood cells, and chemical defenses including enzymes and antimicrobial proteins. Unlike adaptive immunity, innate immunity does not develop memory or specificity against particular pathogens.
