Inflammation
Explanation:
Innate Response:
"The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against germs entering the body. It responds in the same way to all germs and foreign substances, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "nonspecific" immune system. It acts very quickly: For instance, it makes sure that bacteria that have entered the skin through a small wound are detected and destroyed on the spot within a few hours. The innate immune system has only limited power to stop germs from spreading, though. The innate immune system consists of: Protection offered by the skin and mucous membranes AND Protection offered by the immune system cells (defense cells) and proteins."
Acquired Response:
"The adaptive immune system takes over if the innate immune system is not able to destroy the germs. It specifically targets the type of germ that is causing the infection. But to do that it first needs to identify the germ. This means that it is slower to respond than the innate immune system, but when it does it is more accurate. It also has the advantage of being able to "remember" germs, so the next time a known germ is encountered, the adaptive immune system can respond faster. The adaptive immune system is made up of: T lymphocytes in the tissue between the body's cells AND B lymphocytes, also found in the tissue between the body's cells AND Antibodies in the blood and other bodily fluids."
I'm sure it's Inflammation, so here is the definition for that:
"Inflammation refers to your body's process of fighting against things that harm it, such as infections, injuries, and toxins, in an attempt to heal itself. When something damages your cells, your body releases chemicals that trigger a response from your immune system."
I hope this helped! Enjoy the rest of your day!
