Things That Make Innate Immunity And Adaptive Immunity Different

There are two different parts to your immune system that you might not know about. Each of these parts does its job in a unique way and for a different reason. You should know about these changes so that you can understand how your defense system works.

Immune Systems That Happen Naturally and Change
There are two parts to your immune system: "innate immunity" and "adaptive immunity." To fight off dangerous diseases and stop them from spreading, you need these two things. They keep you from getting sick, and you need to know how they work to understand how they do that.

Born With No Sickness
The first thing that keeps you safe are your own boundaries. For starters, it keeps germs out of your body. Your natural defenses will fight it no matter what kind of virus it is.

Innate protection is not always very specific. It won't just go after one type of disease. Instead, it will fight anything in your body that it thinks shouldn't be there. You already know that your skin and hair are two important parts of your natural defense system.

Skin is very important since it keeps the outside world out of your body. The skin does a great job of keeping things out that try to get in. Your hair is also very important because it keeps germs from spreading. You should wash it often to keep it clean.

When you chew or bite, never put your long hair in your mouth. You should avoid putting germs in your mouth, and you can't be sure what kind of germs your hair has picked up. Lots of different things in your body, like mucus, help keep your immune system healthy.

Bugs will also get caught in mucus, just like your hair does. Bad germs won't be able to get into your lungs. Because of mucus, you will cough before you get sick.

Loss or Gain of Immunity
Some cells will try to get rid of anything they don't think belongs there. Your adaptive immunity is different because it responds to threats that are already making you sick.

This part of your immune system will work on a number of different ways to get rid of sickness. In this case, you might be breaking down a barrier or just pushing it out of your body.

T-cells and B-cells make up most of your adaptive protection. These cells can remember things from other places that they have fought before. They will know how to fight them if they come back, which is good. These cells try to figure out what the issue is so they can fix it.
