Answer:

Specific immunity is adaptive immunity or acquired immunity.

Explanation:

Immunity is the overall ability of the body to fight infections or disease causing organisms. Immunity is of two types:

Innate immunity: it is the inborn immunity. Different types of barriers prevent the entry of pathogens into our body. These barriers are:

Physical barrier : like skin

Physiological barrier : like saliva in mouth, tears in eyes

Cellular barrier: like Includes natural killer cells, monocytes, neutrophils.

Cytokine barrier: includes interferons

Acquired immunity: it is also called adaptive or specific immunity as it is gained after birth and is pathogen specific. When our body encounters the pathogen for the first time, primary immune response is initiated. Effector B and T cells are produced which fight the infection and memory B and T cells are produced which are stored in spleen and lymph nodes. If the body encounters the same pathogen next time, the memory cells immediately produce response to kill the pathogen. This is called secondary immune response and is much faster than the primary response.

1. What does your body do to infected cells?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: White blood cells form to fight off cell infections.

Explanation:

1. Your body produces white blood cells which fight against infected cells, depends on what type of cell it is and how infected it is.

2. The immune response to a viral infection is primarily generated by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes; cells that are mostly localized in ‘lymphoid tissues’ such as the lymph nodes or tonsils. However, the number of lymphocytes that can recognize and react against any individual type of virus is initially very small. This is particularly true for a novel virus such as SARS-CoV-2, which people have never encountered before. In order to produce an effective immune response, the small number of lymphocytes that can recognize a virus must become more abundant. Even though lymphocytes proliferate quickly it still takes several days before there are sufficient cells available to fight back against the infection. During this period the virus may also be spreading rapidly, so there is a race between the virus and the immune system that may determine the final outcome, in terms of recovery.
